I had a sheriff stop and talk to me at the road before I walked in. I guess a landowner on the far side of my block called the cops on a bunch of hunters trespassing. Sheriffs were aimlessly driving around looking for the group. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Zero movement so far this morning. Sitting on a lot of fresh sign. I have heard more shooting today than the rest of the week combined. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

When i was done with the morning sit, i headed over to another property and tweaked a set (The stand I saw the buck action in yesterday). I hung that stand about a week ago after some quick speed scouting chasing a ten point i saw leaving through a ditch line. After 3 sits in it i realized that it needed to be moved slightly. It was north facing and too many deer were coming from behind me so i moved it 10 yards and it now faces west. Lots of fresh sign. Tracks, droppings, rubs, and three fresh scrapes. Im trying to be aggressive and thats something that i have never attempt mid season. i typically do all my stand work in the preseason but I have hung 2 new sets in two weeks and already tweaked one of those to stay ahead of the game. I have probably changed more sets and hung more new sets during the season then all other seasons combined. It has always been something i have avoided but my best stands this season have all been hung or tweaked in season. Praying for a huge amount of luck at this point!

Thanks guys! The powerbelts are going in the garbage and Im gonna give the TC shockwaves a shot!

Two fawns browsing their way through. Couple more shots, this time from the West. Rain seemed to finally quit and the fog is lifting. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Quiet here too. Two shots early to the east. Zero movement. You'll see them before you here them today. Woods is wet and quiet.Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The curse continues for me also!

Good to be back in the woods. Not a ton of action but the right kind of action. had a breeding party come through the woods. Stud 10 point on the tail of a doe with a couple of little bucks in tow. Of course they stayed in the thick stuff. Big buck snorted wheezed and chased a small buck off. Grabbed the grunt and did a series of tending grunts. Had a wide racked short time ten point come in from behind me and was gone in a heartbeat. Never had a good shot. It happened fast and with the wet ground, he was dead quiet. Didn't notice him until he was 20 yards from me. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Congrats Gene

This morning, the wind continues its wrath. 23 mph w/ 30+ gusts but I guess it is improving. Maybe give it a shot this afternoon and sit on food. Looks like the wind will finally be quitting overnight tonight. So should be back at it again soon. Hate watching from the sidelines.
