My view for the evening...
Looks like a pitching wedge from here.
We've moved a thousand miles north.
Now the deer drink from the urn by the back steps and the wife argues with them over eating her flowers.
Might should get her a paint ball gun for Christmas.

Might be a tough season. I've got 100 acres of milo thats getting ripe to my left, and 60-80 acres of milo on my right at the neighbors. Does all over it this evening way out of range for anything but a 5" howitzer.
About 3pm, they started filtering out of the trees for 1/2 mile and feeding their way east through the milo. Just before dark, they crossed about 250 yards of my pasture to the wheat field across the road right at dark thirty. No antlers among them.
Zero activity in the morning since Wednesday according to trail cams on two locations. Think I'll sleep in tomorrow. 10 hours in the stand today. Took a break at noon for a big ol juicy bacon, cheese, jalapeno burger at the local eatery.

Had 6 doe within feet of my stand this evening. Well, 5 doe and a button buck. One of the doe even walked by and licked my ladder stand that I was sitting in.
At last light, a doe came bolting across the field with a little fork chasing her. He stopped at a scrape under my stand but she kept going. While he was freshening the scrape, I hear hooves coming and she came back by with a little 6 or 8 pt on her tail. Neither were shooters, but it was encouraging to see the movement.

Movement is way down this week on my cameras. The mature bucks have vanished and little guys are harassing does. Had a decent 8 point walk by at 50 yards tonight. The rains filled up the area I've had the most buck movement at. Hopefully it'll funnel them tighter.
I did get a doe on the way home... thank goodness she ducked my brush guard. Ugh Smh

Most of the deer I saw today were crossing the road on the way in. They were moving just before daylight from the wheat fields back to the bedding areas. You must have caught one moving back to the feed.
