Guess I've been sitting still enough; just had a squirrel come in my log blind and run across my boot.

And that's all I've seen so far this morning. Very still and quiet, some fog and a couple of showers, the kind of morning that a buck could just seemingly materialize from nowhere.

But I guess it isn't going to happen this morning. I'll be pulling out in a bit, looking forward to the colder weather returning later this week.

Up a tree on Jordan. The fog wasn’t really bad this morning. Not enough to affect disability. It was raining when I started into the woods. Not enough to get me wet but I’ll need to dry out the gun when I get home. I got busted by a deer about 75 yards from the road. At a location down the road, my friend has a spot 86 yards from the road. He’s spooked bedded deer on his last 2 hunts. I’m wondering if the deer are getting closer to the road since there is more hunting pressure deep.

I saw a clip of a podcast last week where a researcher tracked both hunters and deer on public via GPS…basically he said hunters move perpendicular to the road and deer react accordingly and stay closer to the road in areas where no one can really park or walk in from. I know you’ve talked about scouting pressure by looking at trucks on opening weekend. He built on that a bit by basically suggesting to parralel the road and walk up to areas where no one can walk in from. Could be right on the road, swampy, steep…
