Congrats on the Doe and the Water Buffalo! (Hmm, thats a sentence I never thought I would say!) Good to see some points on the board! I don't think I'm going to make it out until Friday but if the weather is in the 80s I may have to pass. Good luck to you guys in the morning! I just got done texting my buddy and letting him know what stand I think is best in the AM.
October 1st is Finally here!

saw 9 does and a button buck tonight all out farther than 150 yards. I know where to be set up tomorrow night though. I didn't want to go to my good stand because I didn't get home from my practical exam until 5.

I am deciding to save my best stand until Saturday. We have a cold front moving through then dropping temps 20+ degrees.. Tonight I'll sit on the fence row all the does were at last night and tomorrow morning I will be sitting in a stand I sat in early in youth season. Have had great encounters there and hoping something will be out and about.

Havent really seen anything. Its way to hot and with all the crops still in its just a bad combo.. This weekend that big cold front is moving in and the lows are going to be in the 30s. That should really get them moving.. Friday evening they should start moving ahead of the front and then throughout the cold temps of the weekend. Cant wait for the crops to come out that will push all the deer into my areas big time. Not sure what kinda winter we are going to have this year but if we have a bad one my food plots should be pretty busy with traffic..

Might hit my urban spot on Sunday. I have my Chicago Bachelor party (I already had one in Vegas) Saturday night so we'll see how I feel Sunday. With the cool front coming in I think the deer will really be moving. I'm going to check my camera tomorrow and see what we have in the last week. I'm looking for the buck I posted on here but there is still a 10 point we had on camera in early July that we haven't gotten another picture of yet. It would be good to see him again. I know if any deer walks in front of my dad he'll be letting the crossbow work. He's a meat hunter and after a poor year for him last year with just a small doe and about 25 sits he's ready for a little more action!

Good luck to everyone this weekend. Should be a good one for us midwest guys. Having a cold front move through tonight and tomorrow. Looked at the rain gauge from last nights storms we got close to 3 inches and there is more on the way. Tomorrow morning should be a great morning to get out.

I sat tonight and saw 6 does.. They started to harvest the field right next to my stand there so I think I may hunt a different place in the morning and sneak back in in the afternoon.. Glad to finally get some full sits in.
