Little 6 and a doe after I moved to the blind down in the bottom. I got the hunt yesterday my wife would like for me to spend some time with her and my daughter today, so I may be done for the day. We'll see. Been MIA most of November.

I missed the biggest deer of my life at 2:30 today. I got settled in and grunted a couple times. Not a minute later here he comes walking slowly right towards me. Instead of continuing to come directly in, he turns and cuts through a small thicket. I see an opening where he is headed. I draw and wait for him to get there. As he does, I bah to stop him and he takes half a step to much. I tried to squeeze it in but my arrow hit a sapling or small tree. The way he was headed it was now or never. Arrow shattered. Broadhead clean. He shot off about 70 yards then stopped. The wind picked up and he was downwind from me caught my wind and bolted off. Biggest deer I have ever seen. Definite Booner. I am sitting here in my stand in disbelief. I have had to stop myself puking.

I quit. Neighbors are getting too noisy & nothing is happening. I got to see a beautiful sunrise & a few deer, so I'm happy. I'll probably go to church so I can ask forgiveness for all the cussing I've been doing in the woods....lol.

Good luck everyone !

Sometimes I wonder why I ever hunt anywhere else. My parent's place is 11 acres, but damn if it ain't the right 11. 7 sets of balls today, 5 different racks, 2 shooters. One shooter was bedded 50 yards from the barn on the way out. Unreal.

I think about this all the time.... if I had just spent the firdt week in the killing stand, I would have killed the drop tine my buddy killed or this deer.


But i don't want to be known as one dimensional. Or that guy with one good property that he kills all his deer at..... I wanna be able to go to new places and kill a deer there.... exploring new places makes u more we rounded. Everything relates somehow.... jusy gotta out the pieces together
