All right guys. Got us on the board with a doe on Saturday night. Wasn't in stand 5 minutes and she came by and stopped at about 15 yards. Shot her sitting down. Had a great sit Sunday Morning. Had 4 deer filter by me in the dark. Then from daybreak til 9:30 I seen 10 deer. 3 bucks. One 4 pt that I filmed last week and a 1.5 yr old 6pt and a 2.5 year old 8pt. So I climb down at 9:30 and start walking back. I see a doe and fawn heading my way thru open beans. So I start stalking a bit to stay close and end up kinda out in open waitin on her to come up the embankment. she's one step from doom at 25 yds when I start todraw and she stops dead and looks right at me. She bust's me immediately and turns around with fawn in tow and lives another day. Last night seen 4 different deer but none close enough. Heading out tonight

Got another doe tonight. This one doesn't have milk on its lips. Maybe a 3 yr old doe. Had herat 45 yards broadside in a beanfield. I was in my stand. She spun hard on the shot and it hit her rightin the throat. Maybe went 40 yards. I'll get pics up tomorrow evening after work

I haven't been out since Monday. I have been getting my ass kicked by a nasty cold. Everybody in my community has had it lately. It's been pretty warm, so when I do get out I have a few spots that have key little water spots where a few of these big boys have been roaming around. Just gotts see one during daylight

Hung a stand last evening in anticipation for a couple weeks away. Saw 5 turks and 4 does in the process. Should be a nice setup after next weeks full moon.

Well had my first sit of the year... Not what I expected but hey I got some tree time lol..... My buddy was about 150 yards away and he had a doe go by around 0930..... Which is one more deer than I saw lol... Skunked the first time out and I can't remember the last time that happened.... Oh well lots of time left.... Worst part of it I had a good doe bedded 15 yards from my tree stand 5 minutes before I arrived lol... Gotta love camers lol.... Hitting it again in the morning and we'll see if it gets any better.... Good luck if your heading out as well....

Ha! Yeah, nothing like having groundhog head and trying to kill deer! We have a funky wind for tomorrow morning and I'm a little unsure about where I would go. Might take Tracie out if she wants to get up. Got a lot of work to do tomorrow, so I doubt I sit real long...

Well made it out Sunday morning Monday evening and just got back from this mornings hunt....

Sunday, saw a buck about 70 yards in front of me. My buddy and I swapped stands and he ended up shooting it at 13 yards, heart shot ran 40 yards and piled up... ended up as a 10 point with two droptine stickers one about 3" and the second about an inch and a half.... Big body deer just a basket rack though... Figure he was either a 2.5 or 3.5 year old... live weight around 190 lbs....
Monday evening was a bust 4 hours of birds squirrels and chipmunks but did have an ultra light flying over head for an hour lol.... Wish he could of given me deer sightings lol....
This mornings hunt was slow until 0830. Had a buck looked to be a basket rack 8 point, large body mediocre rack. The bucks here kinda fool you because the ones we're seeing all have good body weight but smaller racks. The one this morning would of pushed 200lbs long and heavy but didn't look to be but a 2.5 year old... Well at least that's my guess not the best at it.... but he was a good one body wise.... not quite too the ears but decent for this area.... I can't honestly say if I would of pulled the trigger on him because he never got close enough for a shot lol....
My buddy and I are talking about moving a stand, we're seeing too many deer moving about a 100 yards to the east of our furthest stand in.... Well I should say he is seeing a lot of deer me not so much, but the area we're thing of is a heavy used trail that funnels them in to the property lines.... We shyed away from doing this because of that but may have no choice... We're talking it up and trying to talk ourselves into it lol... We'll see what tonight brings with this decision..... Just feels good too finally get out, it's like home away from home lol....
Good luck too y'all going out this week..... Now after reading the what is the best day to get out if you only have one thread has got me thinking what week too take off, I was going to go with the week of halloween but now not too sure..... Oh the things too think about lol....

Thanks Charles.... Right after I posted that my buddy called and said hey I've got some time lets move that stand we'd talked about lol.... Just got back from the move and I gotta say I'm pumped about that location!!!!! Looks like a good spot too arrow one of the bucks or does moving through.... Two good paths going into one heading too a bedding area.... should of done it way earlier though.... but better late then never..... Not going too hunt it until Friday and man I can't wait till friday lol.... He said he's not going too hunt it until I drop a buck.... I said you may not be hunting it for a while then hahaha..... Hopefully I'm wrong lol....
