Who’s with me on this rigid morning?!!! From what I see on the forecast ahead for the week this looks like the best day and an all day sit for me. I had a decent buck cruise through right behind a doe mid day yesterday. Hopefully his great grandpa decides to make an appearance. I’m made the hour drive and getting dressed now and getting ready to make the trek back and watch the day come to life and hope for the best. Good luck today everyone and be safe! This is the guy that made the mid day appearance yesterday hit on a doe. He gets a free pass but always nice to see deer.
Slow.....just not happening here, I was going to sit all day but I’m not feeling it. Think I will call it for the morning and head in and eat some lunch. Head back out around 1:00, closest I came to a buck all morning is this button buck that walked under me then bedded down for 2 hours.

I've been determined to get a deer from the public land near my house. There is a very low deer density, I've seen less than a dozen in over 2 years and sign is like hens teeth. With the fresh snow I decided to go for a stroll along habitat edges and look for tracks.
Tracks from three wolves started at the paved road and two track junction. They followed the two track for about a mile before heading west into tag alder and cedar swamp. I crossed one set of deer tracks from a small deer in another said swamp. I also twice, crossed a set of arctic pros that looked just like mine. Total hike was around 3 miles but could have been shorter. Not much back there.
Delayed start this morning but got in a little over a hour ago, on the ground again just in a different spot, 2 does came thru while I was setting up, had to stay behind the tree till they entered the thicket. Should have brought extra arrows with field points for these 2 rabbits.
I packed up and was going to move about 200 yards to my north to get closer to that Tenpoint and this guy decides to come in bed down with a doe 60 yards

Beautiful morning hunt saw 16 flat tops and 3 bucks nothing big but lots of action these past two sits in that stand I’ll be back out in an hour or so hoping that the third time is a charm. I need a shooter to do what this spike did today and that small 8 did yesterday. Saw 6 different bucks the last two sits. Good luck all!
Who order more wind, holy smokes enough already. My new best friend the button buck came and visited me about a hour ago. It is slow here, even with the wind I expected more movement.

Back in the tree in Arenac county...windy is an understatement. Seems worse than yesterday but quite a bit warmer! Had good movement this morning before all the wind...so I’m hoping they move good this afternoon as well. Good luck!
Back at it. Had a shooter at 80 yards this morning but couldn’t call him over. But I did get to put my hands on a big buck. Nephew knocked down a good one at first light. Called me to help trail and drag.
