Has too much time on their hands
Who's still at it?
Been stupid busy this year. Only been out a total of 3 days since October 1. Seen one white flag. Finally got some time today to spend in the climber.
Could be this will be my first season eating tag soup since 1982.
At least there is a ton of fresh sign. They seem to have fully switched to their winter food sources in my area.

The view from my climber today:

No deer harmed. Had 2 does and a spike that almost came into range around 430 pm but 8 coyotes appeared and the whole lot boogied off up the hill with the yotes in hot pursuit. Got my truck well and truly stuck in a drift in the field. Got down from the climber at 5:15 pm and than was digging until 945 pm to get the truck out. Thought at one point i was there for the night.
Might have time for another afternoon sit tomorrow.

Now that really sucks, coyotes mess you up and get stuck. I still have a tag, but have filled 2 and don't need 3, so calling it quits. I would like to give the dog another shot at tracking, but not at the expense of another deer.

I'm still out just North of you, Joe. I have a buck wandering around but there's no pattern and the coyotes are relentless even close to the houses. I've baited apples heavily since the ML season but the deer herd seems sparse in my area. The deep snow seemed to stop all movement for a few days except in very heavy cover.
Good luck.
