I could see six does in the field out of my living room window around 7:00 PM. They were just taunting me. LOL!

I could see 8 does and one real nice 8 pt coming out of bedding area from front window. Figures, but I am not soaked to the bone.

9 different 8 pointers. 5 had to be brothers....all together, all 2.5 yo, all right around 115-120".
The other four 8 pointers were 130-145" ... passed up the largest buck I have ever let walk with my bow.
4 smaller bucks....all 1.5 year olds.
Saw the bobcat twice. Second time he sat 60 yards away for 45 minutes till dark. I wonder if I was in his spot.....there was an inside out squirrel skin, complete with tail, in the tree with my stand. Reminded me of the movie predator. No meat. No bones. Just an inside out skin. Freaky thing is I walked within 10 yards of the kitty on the walk in. Never saw him but he growled at me from just inside the crp as I walked by. Loud enough I stopped. Listened. Pulled out my .40 and listened some more. Kind of odd he was willing to protect whatever it was instead of running away. Made the walk out in the dark exciting.
Big cat too.

The stand I was in was the burr oak I posted about before season....the area that just looked good.
It was.
I just couldn't shoot that buck on October 15. I might regret it but its just to early.

My son and I walked up on one going in for Youth Turkey season several years ago. That was the only time I purposefully readied a gun in the dark and had to take it away from my son to do so.

Had to hit the brakes for 2 does on my road around 5 last night; sounds like they were moving multiple places. Of course the rain really picked up shortly after that - I still won't go out where the chance of a washed out blood trail could cost me recovering a deer; dressing one in the rain - not an issue.

I was watching a small buck rubbing on some saplings when I heard something to the right. This doe walked out from behind a cedar tree at 10 yards. I couldn't stand to take the shot or she would have seen me. I had to watch her walk away without getting a shot.

No....lol, it isn't. Nothing in the Indiana woods to be scared of with the possible exception of the occasional two legged lowlife but that sound is just a touch unnerving.

I have arrived at the best stand on my property. We call it Oak Road because it's in the bend of an old county road bed that intersects the NW quadrant of my property. It's LOADED with acorns (but then sos everyplace else). The wind is perfect. I'm here early. Plenty of thine to settle in. This is the stand I killed my buck from last year. Hoping for some deer movement today.

I'm always worried about Sasquatches when I'm the woods after dark. You never know when they will pop out and abduct you or start throwing rocks at you.

Not sure what I was thinking by getting to the stand at 2 today. Seemed like the thing to do 3 hours ago. Now it's 5. Time to get in the zone. We are entering prime time!

Good luck, guys!
Tonight should be the last of my overtime at work for a while (I've been on it at least a month.) So, I should be getting into the evening hunt game just as things are starting to get good.
