These are the only deer I've been able to get close to lately. Still have about three good days of corn. We have to switch gears today and get ready for beets tomorrow. It's a very grueling two weeks minimum in the beets. Don't think I'll get back hunting with bow till gun season now.
Good luck everyone keep up the pictures and stories I love sneaking a peak when I can.

My gut told me not to go out during very windy weather[NW 30 to 40 mph] but I did anyway in a stand that is set up for the direction and shooting lanes.That does'nt stop deer from coming the wrong direction though and the wind from swirling also.A nice enough 3.5 year old 8 point buck came within 30 yards of me I probably would of shot at but meandered around unaware till it hit my scent down wind.Gone in a flash.It's what they call BUSTED!!!It's been mentioned before by many.Being selective on your days counts a bunch.
I tell these happenings because it is'nt always that easy and just showing the kill can involve a lot of time and effort.The weather has become nice and brisk now though which is the way I like it for good deer movement.Good luck to others trying.
DV IN MN:
Well I head to my property in IL in a week for a week. Hopefully this year I won't sink my phone in water and lose all my pics. I will have to see what is on the trail cams, we have two out, and post some of those pics. No electric or computer connection on the property. All primitive so all post will be post trip. I did put a small plot in at the end of August. It was still a dust bowl until end of September. We were there the first week of October and no growth but have gotten over 4" of rain since. It will be neat to see if it grew at all. I have passed/been shut out for 3 years so we will see how this year goes. Not shooting any deer in three years has kind gotten me an itch and I think I will scratch it this year regardless of sex or size. Have 4 tags and son has 2 non resident so hope its a good week.
Been out 4 times here in Southern MN with not much to show for it. Did have a nice fork horn get to with in 12 yards. But wouldn't you know I knew where they would come from but had to see where those squirrels went which was the other direction. Yea sitting on the ground the pick up movement rather easy. And had a doe at 15 yards took a shot, it was perfect except for the dead fall branch lying parallel to the ground 3 feet in front. Dang 1 higher and perfect. But it was a perfect center punch on the dead branch. Not sure how to cook at or what the limit is on them though.
God luck to all and may your arrows fly strait and true.
