Looks like our two MIAs haven't been on for awhile. Bluetick is a fawn and has been offline for two weeks and ccm352 is a regular oldtimer but hasn't been on since July. Probably they took Rob at his word that the teams would be drawn on the 1st of Sept so we may not hear from them for awhile. That happened to me last year so I made sure to check in early this year.

I haven't gotten a trail cam up this year yet. I was getting it prepped two nights ago but my father has to find his memory cards we gave him for Christmas (it's his camera and my SD card wouldn't read). He's going to position it behind my house on this plot of clover/orchard grass inside my woods.


That's where I saw the three shooters opening day last year. They wouldn't come close enough. All the four points and spikes (saw 11 bucks that day) went right under my stand but theshooters had to take a different path. LOL I guess that's why they are shooters. This year I'm going to try and get them going into the patch rather than coming out of it. I had a neighbor break up some more land out in my pasture that I'm going to plant in oats and maybe a patch of brassicas or turnips. More of a doe stand area and something to keep drawing deer into my area during the late season.
