Last night I hunted my leased land while junior hunted around home. We suited up with camo and our stand harnesses. He went out the back door and I  jumped in the truck and drove. Once I  got there, I checked the 2 bow stands I have. One ladder stand, the squirrels ate the seat, so I  couldn't sit there. The other one, they chewed through the straps on the stepping sticks. I did have extra with me, so I got them strapped back down to the tree. After slapping a hundred skeeters, they started to leave me alone with the thermocell smoking. I  was going to take some pictures, but, the phone went dead from forgetting to charge it. I  didn't see any deer, sat till shooting hour were over. When I  got back to the truck and phone plugged back in, I  got a text from junior. He got a shot off on a mature doe, but, it jumped the string, and had a clean miss.
This morning I'm back at the lease land, but I'm fixing the ladder stand, so I  don't expect to see anything.

This was last nights view....
This is on our leased land, a few miles away from the home ranch.
We planted all rye grass in this field.
So, deer activity won't pick up till later.
Some tracks, but, I believe they are just moving through from one field to the next.
I saw one doe with fawns last night. Pretty sure they just lost their spots, so I let the doe walk.

Nice HD.  That makes me think about sitting tonight.  Hoping that something else comes here other than the doe and 2 fawns that have been here all summer.

Bad wind for me tonight so I stayed home and drank a beer or 3.  I went inside when the skeeters started.

My son and I hunted for the first time Saturday morning and evening.  Nothing moving by either of us.  Weather was great and views were nice.

I was gonna hit the leased land tonight, but the nephew has all the kids over there tree rat hunting. One doe and 2 fawns in the field, I pulled out and now, I'm up in the homestead stand. Little late getting out, kicked 2 last years fawns out walking in.....oh well.....that's why it's called hunting.

bummer.

Yup, it sucks...the first one that walked in the shooting lane was smaller. And as I waited for the second one, they bolted.

My view for the evening.....
Lots of leaves down, and looking at the tracks, the deer are hitting the rye.
Windy'er than all get out!  :doah:

Just to let you know HD.  I am enjoying your hunt so keep on showing us.  I am just not getting out since nothing but fawns so far.   Easier to just watch you.
