Wow the deer were on their feet before sunrise. 3 deer with racks and a fourth that I'm unsure (too dark to tell). Here's a pic of one my headlights caught pulling in ( he's missing his entire right antler) Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nothing like bucks chasing does after you get out of the stand at dark Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Turkey down! Had a flock of 12 birds come past the tree this morning. I took a tough, 35 yard shot at a decent tom but only managed to cut some feathers off. When the feathers cleared, this Jake gave me a perfect 25 yard shot. Dead in his tracks! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Dont be fooled by my picture. I wouldnt consider my stand "on the field edge". Its actually in a very unique funnel that happens to have corn within shooting distance (35 yards). But to answer your question... No i dont unless your talking corn fields. Gotta love field corn. Unlike short crops (beans, wheat, alfalfa, ect), corn provides security cover. Deer love that easy walk on the edge of the woods and the corn field.

First morning sit in a new stand that was hung this year. A little bit of action yesterday afternoon from here. A small Tom, doe with a fawn, and a 2.5 year old 8pt. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Saw these videos this morning on Facebook and had to share them http://www.remingtonairguns.com/videos.html

Very informative video Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

observation... Since this rainy cold front showed up, the majority of scrapes seem to be unmaintained. Hot scrapes from a week ago, are all covered in leaves and look washed out. The upcoming change of dryer weather will most likely change that.

They don't get much closer then this! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I headed to Wyoming county this morning for a change in scenery. Only visit so far has been a doe and her fawn. The doe refreshed up my mock scape too. She worked the licking branch and urinated in the scrape. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If the wind isnt right then my advice is to stay out of there. Be patient and hunt somewhere where the wind does work. You will not beat a mature deers nose.

Whether or not your a believer in the October lull, I believe I'm experiencing it. Things have been quiet for me in the woods both from the stand and on cameras. History has shown me that it's just the calm before the storm. I'm expecting next week, things will start to get exciting! Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Whats the application? What are you setting up?

Well, no luck for me in North Carolina. Looking forward to the grind of the next 30 days though.
