Basically did a ton of walking, found lots of buck bedding but no bucks. Winds swirled in the area I wanted so I went further, found 3 tree stands so went further. Found a spot I liked in a tree line between bedding and beans. Sat down and startedto clear the leaves and a doe stood up 100 yards out and began feeding. Guess ill stay here. ETA: make that at least 3 does Never made it any closer.

First night out this season and I saw 14 deer.
Five, year and a half old bucks, one nice 2 1/2 year buck and 8 does.
Pretty good night.

I had a great sit in the woods. I was in an area where no human has been for a long time. Owner just doesn't go in there much. I liked the spot, and the wind was great for my evening hunt. I had a blast sitting there even though I didn't see a single deer.
It's a little difficult for me to get there. It's butt puckering steep for a bit, but I made it.
On the way out, I laughed that the two mail boxes looked like deer. It was two deer standing in front of the mailboxes watching me coming down the driveway. I made it home safely, so it was a great day.
Oh, I found out that my landowner has an electric fence around his sheep. The sheep dog I was trying to pet already had that information.

Getting geared up for the cold morning sit in the morning. Boss called me this evening and said i could tell him anything I wanted to about his particular question, but he asked me if I wanted to work tomorrow. I told him I had a job to do tomorrow, keeping my butt warm while I was sitting in the woods. He took my response like I wanted him to, he just simply hung up his phone on me ๐. I sent him a text and said see you Monday morning and have a good weekend.
Good Luck in the morning to those who will be out and get back home the same way you left.

Hunting a farm owned by my wife's brother. Took a 161 last year in the same tree just at 30 yards this one I got at 40 yards. I first saw him at about 4:45pm coming at me at about 90 yards, then he bed down in 4 foot thick weeds at 60 yards. I couldn't find him for an hour. At 5:40 two does came in the woods about 40 yards to my left, he jumped up and chased the does out of the woods into the bean field and he hung up in a thicket 40 yards to my left, I had one shot right at his chest as he stood facing me 2 yards away from him walking in the bean field. I hit him in the chest and he ran 10 yards and dropped. I knew he was a good deer but didn't know for sure till I walked up on him. I was hunting alone and called a buddy cause now it was dark and I couldn't get him out by myself. My buddy said he was at least 180s with a spread we measured at 22 inches.

Congratulations again๐๐๐ He's definitely a dandy! It sounds like you have a nice piece of ground and you've found the right tree! Thanks for sharing!
