Good luck!Hunting an oak flat corner with bedding in front of me and a green field 50 yds to my right. Not a lot of acorns but they are falling.

Only problem is that its 68 degrees. Ugghh
Sorry man! Happens to the best of us! Its been a while since I sniffed the woods! Supposed to have most this week off work but its also Supposed to storm the days I'm supposed to be off.Well guys thought I was going to finally get a shooter in range.
Had a NICE buck come in(from the wrong direction). I spun around and came to full draw. He was coming in full tilt. Wind blowing like crazy and boom he stops, winds me, and bolts! 2 more feet and this post would have been a different story!! Pretty sure this was him. I am off Tuesday and Wednesday and scheduled for a couple all day sits. Hoping the chasing picks up!
Things are starting to get crazy here. Finally getting daylight pics. Decided to go to work today and tomorrow due to heat and rain tomorrow followed by perfect temps rest of the week. Mistake? Cam is 15 yds from set

He would look great on the wall lol. Chances are pretty good I never see him again but it's what keeps me in the woods! That and all the food it provides!Mistake? No, you can't let the what-if's get ya. You made a logical decision with your limited hunting schedule to stack the odds in your favor. Hope he comes by you later in the week! He is a STUD!!
What a rollercoaster of a year. My partner at work just got a positive Covid test so I’m not going to have any vacation next 2 weeks I don’t rmr the last time I missed the firearm opener. On the plus side I recently managed to get permission on a 80 acre farm that is full of thick cover so I like my odds of getting a few chances there. Keep grinding and good things will come.
Good luck out there you guys.

Really nice buck, congrats!Things worked out tonight for the firearm opener. Didn’t think i was going to be able to hunt today but my partner at work got back from Covid leave just in time. Third time I’ve seen this buck. First time up close. I knew he ran the place and let a young 9 pt sniff things out for him. The young buck came by at 15 yards and then i was covered up in does all night and big guy decided to come check things out about 30 minutes before closing. Stopped him. Shot him. Mule kicked and ran about 75 yards. All the glory to God!
