This morning was a nice morning to sit. It was 47 degrees and not much of a wind. I took my last sit where I sat last night. It was too good of a place to stay away from. Before it got light, I could hear deer walking around in the thick stuff, then I heard some grunting. Around 8:15, I had a doe bolt out in front of me from the thick stuff. A buck followed her a few minutes later, but it was only a little guy. It was a forky with a few small brow tines at the bases. Dad saw a doe around 8:00, and Brian didn’t see anything. We pulled stands and got out of Dodge. It couldn’t have come soon enough. It might have been one of the poorest weeks of hunting that I’ve experienced in the Midwest.
We headed to Bobby’s for the afternoon hunt in Illinois. My first sit in Illinois was decent. I saw a small six chasing a doe, a small 8 go by on his own, and a couple of does. I also saw a nice 10 come up into a pasture and lay down under a cedar tree. He stayed there for a little over an hour. He got up and went back into the woods right at dark.
Brian saw 4 or 5 little bucks. Dad saw a couple of does and a buck right at dark. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. It’s still pretty warm.
Loving the updates! Keep them coming!
