Hey Guys...sorry I haven't been in for a while but I've been down to business getting ready for Bow Season..only 8 more days for me here in Missouri.

I went out a few weeks ago and hanged my climbing stand on the back side of our Ridge Field where they did some logging early in the summer and did a little planting since we've been getting the much needed rain we've done without all summer.I also set up my trail camera a few weeks ago and went out late this evening to swap out the SD card to see what I have on it?I decided to enter the field from the very back side by walking down an old dump road and cut back in at the back of the field and walk the edge where we mowed a path...got a full view of a 500-600 yard open Ridge Field and walked slowly down the mowed path to look over the CRP field and when I got to where the turnip patch began and the soybean field was about 200 yards past that field I saw brown movement behind the black berry patches.....1 large deer,then 3 more walk out to join the first deer.YeeHawww.....they were still about 200-250 yards away so I couldn't see if there were any Bucks in the groupsinceI didn't carry any binoculars with me andI only had my 22 LR with a red dot scope in case I saw aCoyote!They finally moved down the field and I made my way on the back side down to where my trail camera was set up and changed out the SD card...hopefully I have some deer pictures on it!

I'm thinking if things don't work out after a week or so of hunting by the logging road or the ladder stand in the back field I could put up my blind in the black berry patches next to the soybean fields and have me a close encounter there? Hmmmm?
