    Finished off my summer season with another one. I was really lacking in the videos this year. In total I shot 6 times and got 4 does, a yote, and a clean miss when my round hit something a few feet out from the barrel.

    I couldn't find a trail cam thread although I thought we had one. I'll post a couple I hope to whack.

    Nice! He’s a big one.

    I need to get off my lazy behind and out my trail cam out. I out a mineral salt lick out in my clearing. Saw a couple does there this morning. Not sure if they tried the salt lick or had already finished it. They’d gone across the clearing already and headed down towards my creek.

    Probably setting up a ground blind in a few days and hunting from the ground. Try to do Saturdays before dawn and stick around till at least 7:30.

    Hopefully the weather tomorrow afternoon will calm down by the time I'm done work and I can get out for a bit. Thinking that after all the rain and wind they will finally start to get up and move around. With 3 young kids getting out at all is a challenge these days!

    Holy hell. I had a big and a little doe and their fawns in my fenced backyard for about 2hrs just grazing around. Wife’s okay thinning the herd starting tomorrow. Just a ridiculous number of deer wandering and eating through today while teleworking. Must’ve seen at least a dozen different deer at different times.

    Probably won’t see a one tomorrow, but who knows. Crossbow is ready, range finder charged. Excuses for work if I bag one in the morning and will run late prepared. Only going for opportunity deer next few days. Probably starting next weekend I will setup my ground blind and do some morning sits.

    Just got the phone call from #1 son, "hey dad I shot a decent buck. He ran 20 yards and crashed but I think he may have gotten back up."
    We'll see how the morning unfolds.

    Edit: he didn't get up. Eight pointer on opening day. :)

    Thanks
    I always get more excited for the boys than for myself.
