No deer moving but I have a cool sunrise view. Deer seasons been a rough one but at least I’m still walking on top of the dirt and not in it yet.

I've seen some beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the stand. Many times those are worth the effort of get out there. I had one last year that was amazing. A buck could have walked by and I would have missed it!

Went out west to play orange army with a coworker buddy, who had never been hunting. Passed up a decent buck chasing a doe only to have another hunter shoot the buck. The doe came running to us and my buddy got her. He is hooked now! This all happened Monday.

Went back last night and today, didn't see jack crap except for bobcats and other hunters. Its back to my archery properties for the rest of the season or until I can't stand to hunt anymore! LOL

I'm doing the same thing tomorrow after church. I had told a friend of mine I'd go with him this week.

I'm waiting til midday to go out to try and avoid walking all over people that have their spots.

SC and tslabaugh, you guys talking black kettle? I've only been there to quail hunt. Heard many tales of big bucks though

I am. Place gets crowded during the first of the week. I have never seen so many campers, trucks, and guys in orange! Granted, it was my first time to rifle hunt public land. When we first got there and was looking for a place to camp, there were tons of deer hanging at camps, but only saw one buck that I would have shot. It does get hit hard. Yesterday wasn't so bad with people, but all the obvious spots that appear to have deer had trucks parked there.

I'll be at Stringtown in Atoka County. Keeping my eyes peeled for Bigfoot and whatnot.

Ugh, its too calm out there for me to sneak into the woods at a decent pace. I was going to ground hunt today, but getting in there quietly is going to be a workout!

In cases like that, I've read about guys running or jogging into the woods to mimic a trotting deer. I don't know about you, but my old butt can't do that anymore!
