weather The weather did go from 50-60 day before opener to below freezing several days, same days that they showed up at 6:15. Maybe this winter mix that is starting will do something to their schedule, problem is I probably won't be out as much in it!

Here's a picture, I can't get a large area to show. The area where the camera is located is right where the line of trees coming up from the bottom branches out.The picture doesn't show how brushy it is really. The pasture is 2' tall grass.

I've got a trail cam set up over corn that I scatter weekly. I pulled the pictures off of the camera yesterday (Saturday). Season here in Kansas started Wednesday. I've seen a lot of deer during the day, but no big old and apparently wise bucks. The camera shows big bucks showing up at 6:15 every night since season started. Very punctual. Several different bucks too. Sunset is at 5:08, can shoot half hour after that. Moon comes up at 9pm. The camera is set up at the convergence of several trails across a small creek with lots of trees and brush. This is in the middle of a pasture. There's corn stalks 150 yards to the west, not mine. The neighbors property is very dense brush starting 200 yards to the south. I have that small stream that continues north, it's on my property for a mile. Most of it is pretty brushy. I'm not used to hunting such thick brush. This is my first year on the property so I don't know as much about it as I would like. I'm guessing I need to figure out where they are bedded during the day, but I don't know where to start. The weather is set to change for the next few days to wintry mix, we've had nice clear weather with full moon. Any advice appreciated.
