11/02/15- PM. Hunted my second stand setup over my overgrown field, this one is setup for N, NE, E winds. When I was climbing up I got about halfway and noticed antlers coming out one of the mowed roads. so I start climbing faster. I got to the stand and it was covered in grape vine leaves, berries, and stems. So I rushed to pick it all off as the buck is walking out in front of me about 100 yards away. I finally got the platform clear and climbed on up, pulled my bow up, hookup my safety harness, and heard another buck grunt to my west and there was another buck trailing a doe. The first buck made his way to the center of the field right under my other stand, then went out the north side of the property. He looked like a potential shooter. The second buck messed around in the field all evening checking does. He was the decent 7pt I saw the other day. All told I saw 4 does, a button buck, and 2 bucks. Didn't think I'd see anything due to the heat but things are definitely heating up rut wise.
