Perfect conditions to hunt in the plastic type hut I have today overlooking some cereal rye and wheat. Didn't see a ton of deer but this handsome fella fed
in front of me for an hour .

Given what I have had around this year, I probably would have shot him.
Sitting in the rain wasn't really an issue today for me, stand I hunted is wrapped in canvas and has canvas over the top. Nice to stay dry.

This year hasn't been great for sightings either on a tractor or cameras but I'm blessed that this place has some really nice deer even though I haven't seen them at all this year.
Dang nice one

I try to supply lots of groceries and bedding areas and just lucky to have good genetics around me.You must have some gold in them hills if you passed him up

Your patience will pay off...and my guess is your patience contributes to having an older age class of deer around...which contributes to having "good" deer around..just as much or more than genetics does...cant do much about genetics but we can improve age structure with patience and my guess is your patience has or will pay off in a big way.

I've never been a fan of hunting in the rain, but it paid of big-time for me this year. Killed my 4 1/2 year-old buck in the pouring rain just at dark, opening afternoon of MZ season. Was in a Sportsman's Condo overlooking a small food plot and the buck followed a doe into the plot.
Late season evening hunts over food in the rain have always been productive for me. I feel like they say " nobody in their right mind is hunting now" and there I am . Best deer I've killed were in late dec first of Jan
Good looking buck. 6 or 8? Can't tell from my phone.
Perfect little eight. Short browtines.
Love hunting in the rain. 1 of my biggest bucks was killed during what seemed like a monsoon.
I always get excited when the forecast calls for a good downpour!
