I am sitting in the house and it is cold and snowy in central OK and my freezer is full. I did go try to call a coyote in this afternoon, but didn't see any.

I had 9 does/fawns around 3:30 in my back yard cleaning out my feeders. They have been hanging in the timber next to my house for a couple weeks. I CAN Bowhunt my yard & have a couple antlerless tags-I just can't do it. They are having a tough enough time finding food through 14-16" of snow...

Except hunting with feeders is illegal in both Iowa and Illinois as your location refers to you being on the border. In either state, you cannot hunt with them.

Yep, just sitting here on the sofa with my laptop. No deer need to fear me anymore this year.

Close to food sources, and movement has all been in the afternoon. Saw 12 this weekend between 3pm and dark - nothing in the am.
