Man, glad the wife is okay Nick, and hope she has a health and speedy recovery.

Didnt see one deer, Ive only been completely skunked on seeing deer less fhan I have fingers on 1 hand in the last 10 years at this property. I put a camera out about 800 yards away from where I hunt in hardwoods above what is now our completely dried up creek3 days ago just to see what the heck these deer are doing since they have seemed to have gone AWOL. Well, corn was out for 3 days/nights and not 1 picture on the camera, it is on a main trail also. Im wondering if they have gone to another property for water?? We have 2200 acres and its about 1.5 miles long with a road bordering the 2 long sides of the property and there is now not a drop of water on our place. Yikes

GR8, any updates?? I moved a stand to the complete opposite end of our property, about 1 mile,where the creek enters our property. Set up at the creek bottom. Saw 8 Does in the woods, and I came out about 15 minutes early so I could glass the beans. Bingo, deer were all over it, must have seen 30 or 40 deer including bucks.Im not sure if its because they are closer to the water source, or what, but at least I found some deer. I walked up the dried up creek bottom yeserday, was pretty amazing to see what used to be a 2 foot deep fast moving creek that was 10 to 15 feet wide completely dry.

Nick wish the wife the best..and we're hoping for a speedy recovery!!

Diesel and team.... Well Wish I had a big story..Truth is as I sit here at 1:30 Sunday Afternoon. I've sat in a couple different places..good places..Places I expected action at any time. I've logged right around 12 hours on stand with the proper winds..scent protection etc..I haven't seen a hair! Well not true Squirrels, Turkey..listen to the Coyotes sing me away last night..but0deer.

I did move one this morning in the dark but I was still acloser to my truck than my stand. I was back in there aways.

Debating on this evening..I want to go to the deer factory (just a local farm) to at least get some action..but we have a south wind that makes it confusing..I'd have to set up on the backside of the woods .....hmmmm uhhhh....just dunno the plan as of yet!

GR8, Do you have a topo of your new area? If so, post it or send it to me and I'll take a look. Otherwise, on new property I always start looking at the saddles and try to determine which ones will be used to move between food and bedding areas.

I try and get a pic up later of the ariel Firemedic.. I'd be glad to hear any input as it's new land..That I haven't set foot on!

As for last night .nothing to report...plenty of squirrels no deer..I may have too much corn this year..at least early! Hmm..can't make it out tonight and the weather's gonna keep getting hotter.
