I went out this afternoon to try AGAIN for the big 10 point
Never saw it today
Early I saw several deer
1/2 hr before quitting time 2 doe's with 2 yearlings and a basket 8 point leave the woods
I was in one of those moods and thought , what the heck
Any of the 3 larger deer come in range , I will shoot the darn thing
OH well they started feeding the other way
OK fast forward almost a hour
It is now past shooting time , no deer to be seen
So I get out of the ground blind and start walking to the truck
I get 50 - 60 yds away form the ground blind and I here deer blowing , more than 1
I know the SOB that hunts the next farm , has probely tryed to sneak in on the feeding deer and spooked them
As I has seen him earlyer along the property line
I turn to look back and I see 5 deer running at me
OK I think WTF , so I stand perfictly still alone the edge of the woods
Darn deer don't keep running
No they stop right out in front of me
Not 75-80 yds out
An easy shot , but it is now getting pretty dark and I have no plans on shooting deer that long after sunset
So I stand there
And Stand there
3 of the 5 would be feeding , while the other 2 watched me
Then the 2 watching would start feeding and at least 1 other would start watching me
This went on for over 1/2 hour
It is now DARK
I can just make out dark blobs moving around in the field
And they are feeding in my direction
At this point I must have moved or something
As all 5 started blowing and stalmping
4 ran , the doe's and yearlings
But 1 kept blowing and comming closer , like less than 20 yds now
As I wasn't feeling like finding out how much of a smack down it planned
I clicked on my flash light at it
In a flash the small 8 point took off
Guess I will have to give that ground blind a few days off
And I also have to "Talk" to the next door land owner
As the guy he let go deer hunting has been on our place several times , that I caught him and probely more I didn't
Just figured you would enjoy a laugh at me trying to out wait 5 feeding deer
