Must be teenage does. We are now at the 5hr mark. They get up and stretch but lay back down. My sandwich is gone. Still have half a water. I got this. Winds are picking up. 3.5hrs of swaying to go. If the buck I watched go into the thicket around 9am comes out and offers a shot, it will all be worth it. He greatly resembled the buck I hit high with a non lethal shot. Had him on camera again. Not seen him in the hoof. Truthfully haven't seen him in camera for a few weeks. Could be because he is on this property more now.

The does left!!! Guess I'll just sit out the last two hours. 🤣 Good luck to everyone hunting this evening. I'm going to try to remain focused. Always forget how tired you get from staying in one tree all day. I think it is lack of ability to stretch and move combined with being hyper focused so long.

So I didn't see a thing as i stalked around. Made it to the side by side and here came a deer their the fields to me. I checked my phone and there were 5 minutes. I pull up my rifle, safety comes off and i see antlers. Safety comes on, binos come up and he's a small 8. He trotted within 60 yards of me without knowing i was there. Finally made it downwind of me and I to snort at me. I swear i showered last night, couldn't have smelled THAT bad.

Crazy day. Sealed the deal at last light . My phone sucks evidently when the battery's flashing red the pictures don't save .... So only have a picture of me standing by it hanging up and then some when I finally got home holding the cape. Didn't trust leaving it hang overnight with the rain and 50s so got it gutted drug it out , got it in my buddies garage , caped it out , quartered it all and put in bags . Loaded the truck and rushed home got the meat in the fridge and cape in the freezer with 15 minutes to spare to take a shower and run to work . I'll post some pics when I get to work .
