Hoping fasteddie joins up over here, but thought I'd kick this one off so you guys can share some of your hunts this season!

Not hunting this afternoon. Date night with the wife. Actually scoring points so she can't complain when I do go hunting, lol.

Good luck to everyone out with the xbow today. I’ll be following along and hope to see some hit the ground. I’ll be getting some chores done and will try to get out Tuesday when the temps drop after my doctors appointment.

Just had a small doe run by full tilt.  Thought for sure buck was chasing, but 3 more doe walked by.  

Mosquitos are starting to buzz around.

Saw what I believe to be a doe and fawn crossing a field 150 yards away. Wasn’t light enough to tell for sure. But, that’s it…….

Glad to see so many familiar names here. Just wanted to add that a few of my cams started showing a big increase in chasing last night. Also seeing several new bucks making an appearance the last few days, even if it’s mostly at night. Good to see them starting to come out of the woodwork.

Pulling the plug on this hunt.  Got some stuff to do around the house.  Might hunt this afternoon, but I'm already taking myself out of it. 

Might plant the garden.

I hunted here in northwest NJ yesterday afternoon until dark. Chased a sleeping bear off that was about 12 yards from my one bow stand and climbed up. Didn’t see deer move until the sun was setting, but then two bucks came in. A nice up and comer 2 1/2 year old 8 and a scrappy 3 point. Neither seemed to have swollen necks or cared about chasing the does. I got out in the dark and drove 25 minutes home where a bruiser 8 was cruising through my yard in full rut mode. I also watched a young buck chasing in my woodlot this morning. 
 

It’s looking like a short, intense rut year this year. Time will tell. But it would be nice to get a serious cold snap.

I bailed a little after 9.  Too much treesurfing for a overweight idiot in a tree. Lol.  Plus direction shifted a bit. Prob not back out til Monday as Sunday looks like a washout .  But Monday looks great to be out all day!
