Fall turkey down. Called in a flock and came right to the decoy.

Had a doe inside of 20 yds briefly. Once she came into an opening she went straight away. Never gave a good shot angle. Saw a decent buck 20 min later about 60 yds out. Headed out the way we came in. That started about 8:30. Try to sit till noon or so.

My son sent me this pic. Got him on trail cam too several times. Would make a great mount.

Well I'm a big ball of emotions at this present time. What I thought was the right yardage apparently was not. I had a perfect broadside shot of Ole Crip( the buck my son shot in youth season) only to either shoot over his back or he ducked the arrow.

I just had another bb stand where I stand to climb tree. It sniffed the climber steeps and picked up my scent from 7 this morning. Took off out of here. Amazing how good their nose is hours later. I can't post pictures now. I will later

No deer while on stand this morning. Got down to do a little scouting and bumped a buck out of his bed. That bed is marked in my maps now. 😉

I just got out. Wind pushed me out. Some good wind. Saw 8 total and had two easy ones to shot. Both button bucks. One doe at 42 yards was the closest. Not a clear enough at that distance.

Will, I did a memory review of this morning and this is how that bb smelled my scent on the step.
When a I got to my stand I took my gloves off for the lifeline clip and to grab the rope to pull up crossbow. During that process I grabbed the climbing stick 3 times. Before I put gloves back on. That bb sniffed that step I touched with my hand 3 hours earlier. That is all it took to spook that bb.
Now my lifeline clip and pull rope are 8 ft from the ground. I took took damp leaves and rubbed the climbing steps below that 8 feet. All with my gloves on. Won't make that mistake again
