The best laid palns of mice and men are still subject to divine intervention......2024 edition

The day was pretty steady considering it is post rut. Ended the day with +-15 does and 3-4 (one might have been the same cycling around). Only one of the bucks was an 8 and he was a small basket rack. Reasonable amount of shots with a lull on the middle of the day. A few shots that were so close they MUST have been right on the property line. Now that we are part opening day I will consider does.... dinks get a pass completely from me.
 
Today was cool, windy, and overcast ....good day to be in a box blind. Had my leftover steak for lunch and was petty bored.... the weather was such that I was backing on dinner time s there is a cut crop field directly beside me I was hoping they would head to. Just before 1600 a doe fawn appears out of nowhere to my leftat about 20 yds....she was followed by 2 more and a yearling doe. They milled around in the pocket good plot for about 25 minutes before loafing into the field. I was hoping for larger companions, but no dice. Here is the kind of range they were at....I'm including pics from the dinner I mentioned previously as a bonus. 😉 (pics aren't wanting to load, you'll get them tomorrow)


As an aside, CPO is hunting Korys place and used all his tags on 2 doe fawn/yearlings and a button buck.....I don't know what that is all about, but at this point "not my circus, not my monkeys" is the sentiment of the day.

Today weather was absolute shit. Cold and pissing rain. 10 degrees cooler would have been awesome and snowy. So we buggered off to the cheese factory and now a bar 😉
No climbing on the cow? I thought was America?
