Hunts # 8,9, and 10 this weekend. Still no deer sightings yet this year. At least 35 hours in 7 different stands across 4 different properties. Still haven't seen a hair. What a way to start the season! If you'd told me in September my season would be like this I wouldn't have believed you. I saw a ton of deer all summer long but a complete 180 starting on Oct 1.

I think I'm going to take 4 or 5 days off and regroup. We're heading north for bowcamp the first week of November. I feel pretty good about that. My dad's been seeing alot of deer up there so far.

On a positive note, on Friday night by dad sat in my stand and saw 12 despite the wind. Saturday morning by buddy from Indiana came up to hunt with me and saw 7 from the same stand. At least I know what stand I need to be in now! That ladder stand on the edge of the food plot is hot right now.

I just wonder how bad the buck fever is gonna hit me when I see that first deer of the season, even if it's a button buck I bet I'll get the shakes LOL...
