Box blinds and buddy heaters looking over big green fields.
With the moon like it is, hang tight for late morning action...preferrably near some bedding areas. Hope you already have him down!

I get off of work at 3:30 every day in Winterville. I can hunt the last good hour and a half nost days of light if I bust tail home. I'd been thinking about going all day yesterday till I was on my way home and the wind was totally wrong for my tripod where I killed the 7 pointer. I'm thinking another shooter is gonna show up looking at those does coming to feed in the evenings . Might go today if it's not raining hard when I get off .
No sir. That property sold this year just before deer season started. I hated it bad.Is that your back yard stand? (thought I remembered you had one)
Great buck Rick. You deserved it as much time you put into the woods the last 3 weeks. Funny we never had either of those bucks on trailcam. Both just showed up in the last week or less. Does pulling them onto the property ?The deer woods never disappoint... patience finally paid off this morning!

Also, you pretty much can not find a open deer processor in OC. I heard someone say Firetower may not open up again most of the season based on what they took in several weeks back. I picked up a buck at Greg's this afternoon on the way home and they are not taking any until at least mid week.
BD - Dropped by Firetower Saturday mid-morning to check on my jerky/summer sausage and you're right...no more deer until further notice. Good indication of a healthy deer herd or too many deer being killed. Lot of deer hit the ground over the past 2 weeks.
I heard it was about 75% bucks the first doe weekend. Supposedly, FT took in over 400 deer that first doe saturday, crazy. That is rumor I heard at Sandy cross cafe.I'd be curious as to the numbers of does turned in versus bucks ? our county is one of the hardest hunted in the piedmont I believe, .lets just hope its not too many being killed , especially too many does.
