Hey, you’re seeing deer at least. I know this is probably a trick of the light, but in the photo I swear that one that’s turned broadside seems to have a rack.
I just love seeing deer. I like watching them interact and react to things. I also like to try to predict their behavior or figure out what they are doing and why.

Blowing snow to the face. Now this is more like it!

I hope you’re sitting with a heater.

Teens here. Made a real bone headed move. Last sit of the year to take another after less. Have does bedded in dark grass out from me. Got a little ahead of myself. Pulled out a tag and knife to slip into my pocket before shooting when they stand back up. I grabbed my otter tags instead of anterless tags. Hauled my rear end up here and into a stand for some fresh air. Lucky I checked before shooting. Been a great season

No heater Grouse, not even an enclosed stand. I’d like to think I can handle the cold, but most people think I am stupid 
Lots of deer sightings, bit not the one I was looking for.
At home now grinding out the last day of muzzy. Bow comes back out tomorrow.
Lots of beans still hanging on the 1/2 acre plot. Bunch of fresh snow and more falling. Hope they come to eat soon.

It’s a beautiful December morning. Only 7 below and light snow. Sitting in a ladder stand just off a clover plot. Probably be in a box blind tonight with Temps dropping all day.

Not that bad out yet, so I am back in the ladder stand. Haven’t seen a deer yet

Anything?

Saw 5, didn’t get a shot 
A guy I know had 5 bucks come into a cut corn field and they had all lost there head gear. The cold weather up here (walker) I think promoted early antler drop. Love the “Live from the tree” stuff. 
You must have a heater body suit
Sitting over standing beans at home. Unfortunately not a lot of deer sign even though there are still tons of pods on the beans. Weather is pretty nice, wind in my face. Going to sit here tonight, tomorrow morning and evening. If I haven’t filled my last tag by then I will have to come up with a new plan.
Back at it tonight. Snow is just letting up. “Come on man”, give me a shot!!

Out again this morning hoping for a Christmas miracle. Fresh tracks in my tracks from last night. Beautiful morning to be in a tree
Back at it tonight. Another beautiful night. More deer sign showing up. I plan to be in the stand every night this week. I have an archery tag and a bonus tag that need filing by Saturday. The big push is on!! 
3 nights left and counting. Clouding up which may be good. Pretty strong west wind. Maybe they will feed early tonight.
Good luck. At least it’s not 20 below zero
It’s a monsoon out here tonight. Hopes of seeing a deer in this are slim. Going to try and stick it out. Only 2 days left
Finally finished the season with a big mature doe tonight 
Meat in the freezer is always a great way to end a season!!!
