First deer sighted was at 10 o'clock. Was set up in tree at 7 with quiet and stealthy entry. 4 antlerless(2 doe and 2 spring drops) came in within 20 yards and milled out into standing beanfield browsing. Made their way over to two scrapes 200 yards away already along finger where I have two scrapes with cameras over them. Big doe licked overhanging branches then all four spook and run back my way. Minutes later a small 5-6 pt emerges from finger then starts chasing them around field then out of sight at far edge of field. At 10:50 I see nice young 2.5 old 8 with double throat patches feeding on beans close to scrapes about 175-200 yards away. He started walking away so I grunted to him and he finally heard it and turned and headed my way. Got to within 60 yards then fed away after not seeing any deer moving around. Nice encounter nonetheless. Nothing since he left about 11:36.

Weather is perfect but wind is kicking up a little but not bad. It's blowing out of the NW-N and sometimes NE so far.


GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHOS OUT TODAY!

Made a move at 12. At one, a small eight came out of the brush and crossed the field. Shortly after, I rattled and grunted and had a dandy eight come in behind me. Not quite a shooter, but a beautiful buck. Staying till four or so, then it's date night with the wife.

Back at it down here at Dillon. Did some still hunting/scouting this morning. I saw a good buck when i was still hunting but not sure how big and five does. I just got back to the same area and already jumped 2 on the way in... my buddy scored this morning on a nice doe.

I get home and check my cam...had it pointed way high and got 356 pictures of tree rats... whatever, oops. Grab a bag of corn and head of across the yard. Happen to look left and a little doe is standing there.

Thinking she was gonna bolt I just keep walking. Put the card back in the cam, dump the bag of corn and head back to the house. Halfway up the yard it clicks that I never heard her run off. Look over and sure enough she just watching me. I go inside and tell my wife and daughter to look out the window. My daughter and wife both give me this stupid look...wife says "umm, go shoot the fucking thing" daughter says "yeah dad, are you sick".

So I go grab the crossbow and walk back out. Put it on her stupid ass and wait for her to turn. She turns and the arrow leaves the bow...clean miss as she just walks away. I go find my arrow and find out I hit way right.

I take a few shots at my target...yup, low and right. Get it dialed back in and grab an arrow with a head on it. Through the damn bag it goes and I hear it bouncing off shit in the woods. DAMN!

I walk over to give a half ass look and look over to see this BITCH standing in the corn I just put out. WTF, waiting for her little ass now...and she probably won't return. Lol

Rents due!
