Temp was 25 this morning. My brother and I were out but I came in at 9. I already have my deer. No sense freezing.

Supposed to be mid 40s today.

Opening of firearms deer season was yesterday. My brothers and one son are up.

Nobody's seen any deer. Weather has been in the 40s at night a d low 50s during the day.

I'm back in the burbs for a few days to say hi to the wife. 5 of us were hunting, didn't see a thing from the 14th through the 22nd. My son took his night vision goggles out one night and saw a couple deer in the food plot after dark. Our assumption is that the deer stopped moving during the day, only at night. Neighbors on both sides didn't see any deer either.

I'm going back up until Wednesday. I have chores to do around the house. Don't really need to hunt but I have a lot of stuff to do and my brother is up there and still hunting. He missed a couple deer during bow season.

Summary of the season. Bow season started on Oct 1. My brother missed a doe on the 12th. I killed a doe on the 13th.

I killed an 8 pt on the 23rd. I was pretty much done by then but my brother hunted the rest of the season. Didn't really see much the rest of the bow season.

Rifle season started on Nov 15. My brothers and son came up to rifle hunt. No one saw any deer the 4 or 5 days they were there. I hunted off and on but not seriously. My son and 2 brother went home. My older brother continued to hunt be we didn't see anything.

Bottom line. I had a very successful season but no one else did.
