I haven't been seeing anything... shoulda been out this morning, that was my bad. I didn't hear from my hunting buddy until 11:30 last night and by that time it was too late because I hadn't laid out any clothes for hunting, OR any clothes for my daughter to get up and go to school. Plus, I would've had to tell my husband that I was going and he was already at work... he needed to sleep when he got home, didn't need to stay up late to get the kid on the bus.

Even with the winds, we saw a ton of deer along I-69 and 469 last night on our way home from the funeral, more than I've seen all year. I think I missed a good opportunity to hunt last night. [&o]

I am surprised at the number of deer I have NOT seen this year. I know they are there, plenty of fresh sign all over, tracks right in front of my new stand location, but it just seems they are still quite nocturnal. Of course, I am used to hunting a stand where I SEE deer everytime out, but not in shooting range, usually 100yds out. This year I bought and placed a stand 15 yards into the woods on the edge of the cornfield, right close to a popular bedding AND travel area. The only bummer about it is the only deer I can see are the ones I can shoot, and since I haven't gotten one yet this year... lol... I haven't seen any.

Of course every day out there now is getting us closer and closer to the rut, plus the colder temps moving in should get them up and moving a little more now. Or at least I'm hoping.
