Anyone else out here on Christmas Eve morning?

We did Christmas last night so headed back to camp this afternoon for remainder of season. A member killed our best buck this season yesterday, so still time to get it done if my #1 stumbles by.

Good luck!
 
Took a mid morning walk, without the dogs, to the bottom to check a beaver dam I busted out a couple days ago. Figured it was possible I might stalk my way onto a decent buck. I did have a rifle over my shoulder, walked up on three antlerless twice, could have popped one or two of them the first time.

With kids grandkids and visiting, I probably won't get back out in a stand until Thursday.
 
This morning typifies my season. Went specifically to kill a doe this morning. Had at least 7 on camera in the spot i hunted today. Saw one around 9, but no shot opportunities. I normally hunt till at least noon, but got down early since fiance is off work. Here's me on the ground:

One hour later to the minute...at 11:50

I slept in this morning, and have church this evening. However, I have had some success on Christmas Eve in years past....an early morning mature buck 17 years ago, and an afternoon mature buck 2 years ago. Both huge bodies with small racks. Both shot in high winds, frigid conditions.
