    Just got back on the 13th...hunted Brown county the 7th-13th. Bad weather with temps in the 70s and windy....cold front came in late in the hunt.

    Killed a decent 8 last day because I was tired of looking at him

    We were in Carmi/Norris City area.

    Weather kind of sucked, I passed a huge 8pt Friday am dead after a doe. Wishing I had taken that shot but had a broken G3

    Out of 3 of us the old guy (76 yr old hunting buddy I have hunted with for 30+ yrs) tagged out Friday am on a decent 10 point (125 or so )

    Other guy passed 1 shooter right at daylight and like me came home empty handed

    Still great trip and love seeing all those bucks chasing does

    3 days is a crap shoot every year , this year we had zero acorns and fields around us were beans this year instead of corn. Makes a huge difference

    Tprice do you think the area you hunt holds more deer the years its planted in corn vs soybeans? Been hunting a farm in Kansas the past few years, and this year it was all soybeans. Not much deer activity on it while I was there.
