Heck everyone else is doing it, I'll give it a shot. Solo in camp this weekend and will be on stand most of the day so it will keep me occupied. Will post throughout the day.
Right now on a big 4-way, can see 200-300 yards each way. 23 deer at daylight up and down corned senderos. 3 dinks, 4 8s, one 9 and one 10. Hogs at the feeder dammit.
Nine is 5.5+ yr old, main frame is 135-140" with another 10-15" of trash on his bases. Wonderful deer.

the benefit of me shooting that one coyote does not justify ending a hunt in conditions this good. Just had two spikes really get into it 200 yards to my north. Have never seen young deer fight that ferrociously.

Made it back after thanksgiving for a quick couple of hunts. Not sure what happened to the other half of this thread but I'll pick it up here.
No way to move the tripod back to the 4way where I saw a big mgmt 7 a couple weeks back so I'm in a double box blind about 700 yard away, on the other side of a big draw. We will see what happens.

Nothing but a small buck since the last turkey scare. Very rare slow evening for here. Once a year slow.
Supposed to be 30 degrees cooler in the AM. I'll pick it up then.
