Re: **LIVE FROM THE FIELD - 2017**
The wind shifted just as expected and my loop coming in worked perfect. All set up in the tree I should have been on Monday. Almost feels warm out here today. Sunny, 10 degrees and light wind from the warm direction.....southwest.

Re: **LIVE FROM THE FIELD - 2017**
Good luck Dewey! I’m after a doe with a broken front leg tonight. Guessing it was a car hit. If a slob buck showed up that’d be cool too. Today’s wind did not work well for the buck I’m after. Will be after him tomorrow

Re: **LIVE FROM THE FIELD - 2017**
Heard a few unidentified deer moving thru that cattails and that was it. I just had to give that spot one more sit. The buck I missed Monday never seen or winded me so I was hoping he would repeat his route. Stranger things have happened. You just never know.
One more day. Nothing like taking it right down to the wire.

Had a shed buck at 30 yards today on IA public. Decent pedicles, so probably 3 or older.

Re: **LIVE FROM THE FIELD - 2017**
Got my final buck of the year this afternoon. It has been frigid for Tennessee and has put the deer into a pretty steady pattern. One of the most enjoyable years that I have had. I have been able to see and pass numerous deer and I have never been able to really do that. Even this deer, I saw him last year multiple times bedded. Passed him last year as a large 7 bedded in the same location that I got him today and on the same pattern. He bedded in this location because it was close to the field he was working toward. This year he grew to a tall 8. I am getting the hang of this bed hunting and it makes hunting much more fun seeing deer. Sorry for the bad pic, no one to take picture with me.

Re: **LIVE FROM THE FIELD - 2017**
Great buck mparsely. I know the weather forecast for WI on this Sunday is suppose to be considerably warmer. Maybe this "change" in weather might want to make the deer come out early. Who knows. Season ends tomorrow. Good luck

Re: **LIVE FROM THE FIELD - 2017**
I headed in extra early today to savor my last day on stand. Been sitting a few hours already. Always a little sad knowing that the season is coming to an end. I had some great opportunities this season that I did not capitalize on. Hoping for one more chance to redeem myself today.
I’ll post pics in a little bit. PostImage has been giving me issues again.

Re: **LIVE FROM THE FIELD - 2017**
Main bedding is straight ahead.
Bucks that leave that bed walk down this tree line that I’m sitting on.
I’m surrounded by nothing but cattails and what is usually flooded timber. Killed a number of my biggest bucks within 200 yards of here. When the seasons on the line gotta go with a spot I have ultra high confidence in. Sign looks good. Lot’s of activity from early this morning after the snow fell. Best part is tracks lead into bedding and none coming out. Large tracks along with smaller tracks that branch out to a doe/fawn bedding area and the large tracks to the main primary buck bedding area.
Amazing how good 20 degrees feels even though it’s windy with strong gusts.
