Luke said he wanted to avoid the warm temps and wait till morning to hunt again. Fine with me, because I'm running on about 2.5 hours of sleep, and then a half hour nap. I'm still recovering from a brief illness this week that took the wind out of my sails. Pushing thru it to keep the weekend normal. Stay hydrated your see a difference….Tomorrow am will be a lot better hunt IMO Yes sir, you got that right! |

Dang blackbird keeps flying to a tree about 60yds out, and is plucking berries or something. The branch shakes, and I get startled everytime, HOPING it's a buck rubbing or any deer out there. You'd think I'd catch on by now, lol, but staying optimistic.

Grant from The Nitestalker Clan killed a nice nine pointer yesterday. I’m waiting on pictures.

That's a wrap for this years youth hunt for us. Nothing this morning. Conditions were excellent, and it felt right. Just no deer to join the party. I'll get Luke back out a couple times later in the year. Good luck anybody else out enjoying it.
Oh, on the way home yesterday, we seen a mature eagle on a branch over the road. Awesome sight!

Ready for action, way too warm, and dead calm. The Thermacell doesnt seem to evacuate the skeeters that were already waiting for us in the shack.
Broke a sweat on the walk out wearing a hooded sweatshirt. I had a long sleeve tee laid out but forgot it.
This afternoons hunt already brought back memories. I got a swig of diet Dew, and a bite of a Snickers and a pizza puff. Lol. Let's rock!

Prime time is about here. Down to last hour of the youth season.
Skurries are everywhere. Will be a major reduction happening after today.

Heard some walking and cracking outside. Hoping for a willing critter to show.
I'd be happy with a yote or even a groundhog.
We have put down the 243 this year due to some weak blood trails. I put him behind a 7mm-08, and he loves it. I've killed several with it, and handload for another guy. It's a heck of a caliber. Light recoil, flat shooting, yet a ton of knockdown. Let's test her out today!
