i hunted this morning and seen 5 deer and a decent buck about a 120 but let him walk hoping to kill one of the bigger deer i have on my trail cam. This evening i only seen one deer and it was a small doe so i passed on her. Everyone i talked to that hunted today said it was slow and hardly seen deer.

damn it! why is it that every body other than me always has a good opening day. also we are going out in the morning in a ground blind if it rains. i mean i got an oats food plot, i have deer trails every where.... now its the season and there are no damn deer.

well i still havent seen a damn thing at all!!! but it was actually nice to be in the stand today. but seeing as it was a full moon last night i would guess they did their feeding last night.
i did find a rub on another property only trouble is i found out that the property line was 100 yards away from where i was so... good news is i didnt get arrested, bad news is i need to totally scout a differnt spot.

The trail cam doesn't lie. Early last week had deer pics in the morning around 8:00am, as the moon got brighter they went nocturnal with the pics going from 7:00pm on the 30th to midnight on the 1st. Still plenty of season left, no need to hit the panic button...
