Completely different afternoon here. Yesterday, I saw deer enter into the field from every different direction, squirrels running all over, turkeys chattering and the sandhill cranes flying like crazy. Cranes are flying today but, not nearly like they were yesterday. Only one squirrel quietly walking through. No turkey chatter and not a single deer so far. Nothing here in Knox County either but some geese flying south...super quiet.

Finally an evening hunt with some sunshine, it's been overcast seems like forever. I'm feeling hopeful that something with antlers makes an appearance tonight and maybe it'll be the one I've been chasing since October. I'm not going to call him a target buck but he's a good one but if one makes a showing that interest me I'll take a shot at him too.

Went to Rural King in Vincennes after work this morning at 7 am. Seen overnight that they had a muddy 4 pack of trail cams for $48 so I picked up a pack and so did a co-worker. We went to checkout and they rang up for $119 but we showed the manager the Web site price and WOOHOOO we got them for the website price. As we scrolled through the other cameras we noticed the prices were all %60 off on all of them. I woke up a little bit ago checked prices on rk website and it looks like prices have been changed back to regular price on cameras.

Big doe and a very small 6 point and that was it. Up next the crossbow for a few hunts. Or maybe some magnet fishing if the weather stays decent.

Down to within the last hour of muzzleloader season. Seen several doe this morning and nothing yet this afternoon. Not real optimistic about seeing anything with antlers but you never know.

In the blind hunting over this cut corn field tonight and boy is the wildlife tearing this field apart. I'm really thankful that the field is full of corn but I wish the deer would get to doing some daytime movement. Cameras on the property are showing a lot of night time movement from 11 pm to about 5 am but I know that also they have to move sometime during day but it must not be where I want them to be.

They won the battle but not the war this weekend. Back to work tonight rest up a day or two and I'll be back at it.

Back at it this afternoon and there's a very light west wind and very quiet. Hoping to see some afternoon action and figuring there will be some heavy feeding going on at some point before dark and just maybe I'll get that shot at a good buck.

Felt great walking in this morning without it sounding like I'm walking on potato chips. Looks like a lot of the area was blessed with some much needed rain. Hopefully the deer are in the mood to move this morning since the weather guy says conditions are going to deteriate today with high winds in excess of 30mph. Hopefully us that are still going at it have success and give the ones who are done something to read about.

Wind has really picked up here in Knox County. Haven't seen a thing this afternoon and the sky is getting darker and the radar says I'll be getting wet in about 45 minutes so I'm prepared to make a quick dash to the truck if it does start raining.

Wal Mart in Vincennes is starting to mark hunting items down to clearance prices. Seen a couple Ameristep hub blinds for $56 and rhino spring steel blinds for $42, single man treestands for $78 and I figure they'll go cheaper yet. I picked up a couple Moultrie w 36 trail cams that someone had hidden behind some things for $25 each. They had a few other trail cams marked down but I think they'll go cheaper before long.
