I guess I need to clarify the butt. It was the butt of a deer.

So Crockett and I ended the hunt with coffee on the porch. From behind him over the bridge I see a butt cross. Minutes later another doe crosses! So upset, I got myself packed up with my bow and was going after them on foot. Went to get my now when the doe eyes me, tail went up and she ran. I got my bow, and began walking toward bridge when the next doe pops out. I was unprepared. He tail popped up and she was off. I set out on foot for an hour and a half with no luck. I think they're watching us!

12 hours and not one sighting. Not much of a reward for frost bite. Coyotes were screaming earlier, wild sound. I giving it a half hour more. They should've been here by now.

Do look cold?

Wow, it is so quiet in here. No wind. Deer feeding here. We heard them.

The sky is beautiful this a.m., no moon. It's freezing! Crockett not feeling well. No morning hunt for him.

I definitely have no patience in the afternoon in a stand unless I'm seeing something. And I definitely need to bring tissues next time. Clothing is just not cutting it. I know, yuck, but what is one to do?

This thing has lasted all day! Still warm.

I'm in at the crossroads stand with protein feeder. Love this stand but spooky coming in morning and dusk.

its VERY windy. Maybe 10+ mph. Wish it was quieter.

Look what Crockett made for me! So creative.

I'm no expert, but does this look like a rut to you?

Going back in my sleeve to keep warm.

This property is not like a deer lease where the deer is abundant. It's like a waiting game, hoping one sees something besides nothing.

I'm in at 48 degrees, perfect, no wind.

It's rut!!! Never seen it. Going to Broken Road now. I hope the wind dies down.
