Well I just got back from a good couple of days of deer hunting. But I just can’t seem to see any big bucks.
I was able to get some good deer hunting footage, but I’m just not seeing the big bucks. 
I did get to see a beautiful sunrise. I hunted a huge food plot the first afternoon but the wind was whipping and I only saw two button heads.
The next morning I hunted the edge of another food plot and I could see into a real thick area of hardwoods and pines mix. It was a very still morning and it was one of those hunts where I made way to much noise. It seemed like every little move I made I was making noise. I didn’t see a single whitetail, and I’m sure it was because of all the little noises I was making. I was trying so hard to be quiet but I just kept messing up. I dropped my range finder, ice had formed on the back of the seat I was in and kept falling on the metal platform, I had my camcorder on my tripod and it kept clanging against the metal stand. It was just one of those hunts. That afternoon I hunted yet another food plot and I had whitetails everywhere. I got some really good footage, I’ll put some on here that you can check out. I saw 9 whitetails that evening and I heard a few more that I never saw. All together it was a great couple of days of deer hunting but I just don’t know how to get close enough to see the big bucks, I think they are just to smart and have gone nocturnal. I just can’t pinpoint the big boy that we have on trail camera. He is so smart and elusive. I guess he didn’t get to 6 1/2 years old by being dumb. It is very humbling to be after the same trophy whitetail for several years, and never even see him while out in the field. I have only seen him on trail camera and most of the pictures of him are in the middle of the night.
My dad and I got to spend some time together in the woods, and the older I get the more I cherish the time we get to spend together. He recently was diagnosed with kidney disease, and seems to be in quite a bit of pain. I am planning on doing a post about my dad real soon and how he took the time to introduce me to the great outdoors and taught me everything I know about whitetails. I love you Dad!
Heres the video I took Sunday evening it’s pretty cool! It was kind of long so I had to mix it a little.

Love that first picture of the sunrise (or is a sunset?) Anyhow – it’s why we love hunting, isn’t it? Don’t always see the big uns, but just being out there sure makes it worth it!

Great vid, and the sunset picture is awesome.
I would to have a deer train like that wandering by me. It’s been awhile.
