It happens. I would also ask why he thinks it did.Really great point. I told him about my misses and told him it’s why we call it hunting, not killing.
I’d also tell him about the worst of worse. Wounding one. It’s a crappy feeling but a bad miss is way better!
drove around an hr and a half tonight to see a doe and a fawn is all. But did see a buck from my yard I'd shoot come out right at dark make a scrape.
Had a deer pop out of thicket over by my popup and walked down to my yard @ 1815. Nothing else was moving.
Look up the thread “tale of the 870” and read him some of my stories.
Back out in the popup. Deer are already here few feet away. Hopefully Bucks are looking for them. Still dark.
They moved on before it was light enough to see for sure. Maybe 3. I keep getting a mature doe & BB together. Other times there's a fawn in the mix as well. I havent seen any antlers with my eyes yet, so they should be cruising. Something will still show up
Had a deer up wind 100yds plus blowing like crazy just before light, seen nor heard anything since .
Yesterday evening... had a button buck right at the base of my stand. He moved on through and a second one showed up in the same place. the first one was about 50 yards ahead and saw his brother and came running back like, "hey, where ya been?" They started frolicking around like a damn Bambi movie. Made me laugh.
That was all I saw. That did NOT make me laugh.

Had a small 6 just come by with nose on the ground. He went in a thicker and searched around Abit and came back out and moved on.
So many 15yd broad side shots he gave up, if only he had another 50 inches up there

WV is deadsville. No action at all for 3 days. Very few scrapes. Very odd. Headed home in a bit. Back at it Friday for 29 days.
Nothing else moving. I stayed till 1030. Speaking of drones, I did a flyover of some area cut corn fields & nothing was out & about.

East wind and rain usually equates to sightings behind the house. If I can wrap a meeting up in time at the end of the day, that's where I'm headed. Maybe take the doe decoy with me.
At the least the deer are here. In the house & went up to throw some 'dogs in the mirco. Looked out & saw 4 deer cutting across into the thicket out back. Surely a buck must be following. Went out & sat at the corner of the shed only for the dog from back in come over bark his head off at me. I hate barking dogs.
2 hours & 2 miles later after leaving out the back of my workshop and hiked it all the way here, I'm finally settled into a good tree with a fresh scrape 30 yards away. Brought the tree umbrella cause it just started raining.
Clear on the furthest East side of the property. We'll see what happens.
Good luck to whomever is huntin today!
