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. Thats more antler on on sit for you than all last year for me!

Got out of work and got in the woods as fast as I could. On the ground in a blow down in acorns.

Slow evening. Just as I was starting to pack up, this fork horned buck came right to me. Got to 10 yards. Needed another 100 inches.

Ended up seeing 5 deer total. 4 bucks.....the one mentioned earlier who went the other way once he got up and 3 smaller bucks.
That's 20 deer combined the last 2 evenings with 17 being bucks.

I saw a doe running around in a field squat and pee. Then a 1.5 year old buck walked over, sniffed it, and lip curl.

Another doe crossed the road in front of me last night on my road. Had to watch the grandkid so I couldn't get out; not going to get home tonight in time to get out either. Seems like the movement is starting to pick up. JDUB & I are going to hit my place hard this weekend.

Back in the Oak Road stand this morning. Same wind as yesterday...perfect. Saw tons of deer when I drove to Dillsboro and back last night after dark. Hoping some will cruise by me on the way to bed this morning.

That's what I love about this stand. When you see deer there is a very high probability that they are going to offer a chip shot. I've had chip shots at 3 different bucks in the last two sits. Problem is, all 3 added together wouldn't make a shooter.

Close glassing does not show a lot of cropping on the oats.
Maybe too many acorns around?

I had a doe and fawn down the field. They didn't stick around long . I don't think they got wind of me unless they caught a swirl

Maybe too many acorns around? I think that certainly has the deer spread out this year.

Wind has picked up a bit here, hoping it dies back down this last 30 mins of legal light.

This evening I walked way back on a logging road to a large oak flat -- I'm talking an area covering probably 200 yards on a side that is totally littered red and white oak acorns -- and sat in my climber in the high winds. I didn't see a thing this evening, but left my climber on the tree, as my initial goal was to hunt out of it tomorrow morning anyway. The properties I hunt have tons of oaks, so you can't really narrow down the deer when they have thousands of oaks to visit. Not having good internet service there keeps me from being distracted by my phone. LOL!
