Made it to Ohio and pulled cams this afternoon. One shooter on camera and another questionable one. Tomorrows the opener, we’ll see how the next four days go!

I believe it was Fred Bear who said a rain shower is a reason to keep hunting not stop hunting, lol. I'm not that dedicated this early in the season myself though, .My day to go out hunting was today.... but its pouring rain all day! Will try again tomorrow morning before I have to take my daughter to the circus by 4:30.
Found some red oaks/pin oaks dropping near a marshy swamp and also a bean field. What do you boys think? Beans still looked fairly green if that matters. Had a good buck near the swamp on 9/1 and 9/10 but nothing after that.. not sure if he moved to a fall range or just dodging cams.
So how'd it go, did ya end sitting there?Found some red oaks/pin oaks dropping near a marshy swamp and also a bean field. What do you boys think? Beans still looked fairly green if that matters.

There was a nice congregation of bucks in the bottom fields of my family farm the last 2-3 weeks, but hay fields have been cut and oaks and persimmon trees are starting to drop here so I'll be heading to the ridges tomorrow evening watching a pretty good persimmon patch.
Good luck to everyone going out today

At least you were there! You'll get one tomorrow! Maybe be nearer the ditch? Idk...Hunted public this morning and never climbed a tree. Trails everyone, saw fresh tracks where it was possible to see them, but never saw a rub, never saw a scrape, never saw an acorn, nothing that made me say “here, now, climb”. Walked 2.5 miles just slipping, listening and looking.
Pulled out at 1230 and went and got some slaw dogs.
Came back home and hunted a private spot a few miles from the house. Saw 2 on the way in. As soon as I got set up and as soon as I started strapping on my release a doe runs right up to my tree and stands there broadside at a max of 5 yards. She was right here…..
Did she walk in the direction she was going so I could kill her??? No, she hangs a right, trots about 25 yards and stops again. You can’t see her, but she’s in the green circle….
About an hour later I had 3 does come through on the other side of the ditch….
Finally had one more doe right at sunset that I heard and got a glimpse of, but then she vanished. No idea where she went.
There. That was my day, lol.
