Hard to believe it is only three days away. I went to check a camera where I plan on hunting Saturday morning. I have three decent bucks and some does hanging around. I am primarily trying for a doe in the early season. While I was walking in I could hear machinery running. Turns out the township is running sewer lines and they are currently 60 yards from the stand I planned on hunting. Ugh!!
My other main property is currently being logged off. It is not looking too good for me thus far.

In a week the deer will be used to it and the sewer guys will be 200 yds away

I doubt the sewer line install will have much effect on the deer.

Actually, as curious as deer are, that sewer line might be like bait.

I doubt the sewer line install will have much effect on the deer. In time, no. This coming Saturday it may be an issue, lol. |

Pretty good morning. Passed up my first deer of 21/22. Big momma at 21 yards. She had two little ones in tow and I didn't feel like killing her today. Ended up seeing 6 does.
Cool encounter with a screech owl. Haven't seen one in awhile. I heard him calling before it got light. Once it got light he flew closer and landed on a limb next to me. After we checked each other out for a bit, he took off. Its has been a long time since I have seen one. They are cool little buggers for sure.

And you still saw deer, despite the disturbance.

Saw 5 doe and passed up another big momma at 12 yards at 6pm. She had one little one in tow and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Makes me wonder sometimes why I put in the effort. Scouting, cameras, stands, time, etc.... when I don't take shots when I get them. I guess I like hunting more than killing these days. |

In archery season I concentrate only only hunting bucks. I figure if I take a doe, I'm gonna be in the middle of a field dressing when a nice buck happens to stumble in range.

Sat last night and seen 3 does that were too far. Thought this morning would be a good movement day but only saw one deer and could not tell what it was.
