Wind: slight from the NE
I had a dentist appointment today, so I took the rest of the afternoon off to do some bow hunting. Danny met me in the quarry at 1:30 to help me get set up in the far north bean field. We both drove to the field road, parked, and lugged all of my gear to the far field. My plan was to set up my ground blind overlooking the bean field hoping to catch some deer feeding in the evening. We picked a spot about 75 yards to the east of the field road and got the blind set up. My blind isn't ideal for bow hunting as it is small and narrow. Danny left around 2:30 and so I hunkered down and waited for sun set. It ended up being my longest sit of the season. Five hours in a small ground blind is not easy for me! Either way, I was able to read most of my Outdoor Life and texts from Danny and my wife kept me occupied. At about 6:30, I heard something walking towards me in the woods. I never saw the animal, however I heard turkeys roosting in the trees about 25 yards to my right so I can only assume it was the flock of turkeys causing the disturbance. I sat until dark and never saw a deer. Lots of corn and leaves are keeping the deer sightings to a minimum.
Total deer sightings: 1
Total hunting hours: 13
