Went out 10/16 in the PM after cutting the weeds down at our goose pit. Wind was bad for the leased place which pissed me off because the crop was down and I knew no one smoke poled it. Anyhow, went to the public land which Im sure got blasted away at Saturday and as predicted, saw nothing. Neither did my father. I would have just gone home, but I hadnt been out for two weeks between bad weather and being down with a virus. Always nice to get in the woods, but disappointing when you cant do what you want. Oh well, will give it another try, weather permitting on Saturday.

Got a late start on Saturday. Wasnt set up until 415pm. Wind was good and it was cool so I was hopeful, but ended up not seeing anything. I was one of those antlerless shotgun days and I didnt hear a shot from anywhere in the area. Will give it another try next weekend.

Hunted White Clay Saturday Afternoon, and this morning. I didn't see a thing on Saturday, and I saw two bucks this morning, but well out of Bow range. One was a spike, but the other one was a decent deer. May try later this week. Anyone else been out in White Clay?

Hey Duck , we are picking corn at your spot on Rt 9 at the Ennis farm, I was in there today chopping stalks, across the road, I might not be on the tractor tomorrow , (wed) anyway, the guys were talking on the CB's on the combines about how much deer damage was back there , about as bad as they have seen , they were talking about deer eating corn off the cob and the cob still on the stalk, so that tells me something..... plenty deer, get dpwn here this weekend....
