Not this morning. Gonna head back out here in a little bit. Pics on the camera are showing more activity in the evening anyways. Fingers crossed. It's nice to be back in an actual hunting season though.

Back in for the evening hint, but the guys on the property rightu next to mine are having target practice or something. I thought they might be dove hunting, but I hear handguns and what sounds like ar15.

Sounds like the 4th of July out here...

That just means more deer for your area. Good luck.

Just listening to the same thing out here a bit ago.

Yup, kids about 400 yards from me on different property as screaming up a storm.

Haven't seen anything other than birds and squirrels.

Me too! Guy across the street was dove hunting and the guy behind me I guess was target practicing but he wasn't biting anything cuz I heard the rounds fly by.

Here's how my opening day went.... got all the way in the stand to realize I left my phone in the truck, then very quickly found out that even if the Thermacell is the best invention in recent times, it doesn't work without the repellent part that was sitting on my bar back home. Also figured out that the feeder was stopped up (was fine Friday afternoon) and finally didn't see a thing all day. Went home hungry and a little frustrated. But I am back this morning trying again. Good luck.

We've got tons, and I mean tons of turkeys.
So many that you can't keep corn on the ground for the deer.
You run a flock off another shows up right behind them or they come back.
Hogs same way.
Between hog and turkeys there is little for the deer to eat.
Saw several smaller young bucks and a few does.
No acorns, this year and the animals don't look in that great a shape.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

It was about a 7/8's moon last night. I think deer are feeding through the night and bedding down early. The moon being that bright *should* mean some activity during daylight hours. Your experience may vary.

I was out yesterday and saw nothing except squirrels. The neighboring property was shooting rifles, hand guns, cannons, fireworks, and anything else that would make a loud bang. I'm not sure but I believe they are anti-hunting. Going back out again this afternoon. Missed the morning hunt. Most activity we are seeing on camera is in the evenings anyway.


A hog is nothing more than a bullet receptacle.

We saw nothing. Have pictures up to the 27th and after that nothing. Acorns started hitting the ground so I suspect the deer are under a tree somewhere.


Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

I got pigs on the cam and a couple nice bucks. When I say pigs...I mean pigs....hundreds of them it seems like. They've trashed just about every feeder, fence and road we've got. I have cam pics with 15-20 of them at a time
