Took a drive around "the block" tonight deer are definitely moving. Tomorrow will be cold NW wind. Not sure what I'll do yet but I'll be out. Thinking of sitting in a mulberry tree in the middle of a corn field .. it'll be boring can only see 15 yards but might have an opportunity.

8 degrees this morning. Gonna be a cold one. I am delaying getting to the stand until after light to make my time in stand as effective as possible. No sense getting there an hour before light and be frozen stiff by 7.

Sat a total of 7 hours yesterday. It was cold. It was even colder this morning. I accidentally overslept. I am not upset about it. Was starting to run myself down.

Had a good deer at 5 yards. I couldn't get drawn before he took off.. I tried. I dont think he actually seen me. He crossed my scent and was looking for me.

Last night was late getting little bro's deer out of the woods. He has a shoulder injury so guess who gets to drag? Well over 200 lbs dead weight up hill and huffing cold air. I felt I'll by the time I arrived back to camp.

Here I am, sitting in a tree, last sit for me before boom boom season. Reflecting on a good season and feeling sorry for myself for not getting as much time as I'd liked.

My little brother set this stand high in a maple tree. It's a good spot, hope to have an opportunity. But if not, I've passed shots this year, I've had chances.

Jumped one just as I was about to climb the ladder. Hope he comes back.

Saw a doe with 2 fawns. I guess I am soft, just couldn't do it. Heard a deer fall through the ice on little Caine creek. After gun season late season hunting is tough. Seldom see anything and when you do they ate cagey as all get out. I have 2 parcels that will not get hunted during gun season hopefully that helps.

Good luck Charlie seems like an odd rut year here in MN

Stay after them Charlie.

Thanks fellas. I'm switching gears this weekend for meat. Usually do not have to resort to other means as meat is typically plentiful free for the taking on the side of the road.

This year there has been very few and the timing has been poor.

I attribute it to the amount of corn still standing resulting in deer not needing to move much to eat.

I'll be at the bow game again soon

The past 2 years have been tough for me. I have moved to a new place (from ny) 2 years ago. The opportunity as far as hunting is much better but the move has created new unforeseen challenges that keep me from the woods.

I'm trying to work through these challenges but it certainly makes hunting a little less enjoyable

Hang in there Charlie

You'll find a good balance. Hang in there.
