    Dennis, you seriously need to reduce the deer population in your area, especially them kamikaze deer that target your motorcycle rides. I used to enjoy hunting/fishing/playing golf with my late son, haven't done any of these things since losing him in '19. Be safe during your hunting season and beyond.

    Well now, we all know these critters are nocturnal and they`re showing it as the phase of Harvest Moon is coming up...

    Yesterday, They didn`t show until it was 15 minutes After Sunset with only 15 more minutes of legal time to shoot em...

    I left 7 in the field munching on corn within 40 yards...

    Too dark to make out what they were, but I DID see a Fawn & its Momma first...

    Then them others "Kept coming, just like grits"

    Notta thing showed this morning...

    I`m mowing the field today,
    Dennis

    Who else got em their sights???

    Go get'em.
    Just watching them here . Had bear and deer on trail cam at cabin on the sand mound in front yard. Not season here yet, though archery should be opening up for those that do that.

    Thank you so much for the gracious offer Dennis, but I've pretty much lost the passion I once had for hunting. Between the unethical hunters I have been surrounded by within a couple hunt clubs I was unfortunately involved with, then the untimely loss of my son Jarrett, these events have broken the spirit for hunting I once had. Not trying to sound like a candy-ass, but to sit in a tree stand again, alone this time, would be a bit difficult for me. Maybe one day I will look forward heading to the woods and hunting once again, just not right now. Thank you once again for the offer!
