I only saw one doe and a coyote this morning.
Got down at noon and went to town, should be set for a while.
Had a rodeo with one of the dogs coming in tonight. She is the only one smart enough to escape from the pen, and I haven't got around to fixing it yet. She started to follow me into the woods, so I took her back and put her in the pen. She usually stays put for a while before she squirms under the deck to escape. Well, this time she's out again and running my trail just as soon as I'm getting settled in to the stand. I texted my wife, who tried to call her back to no success. The dog just kept running up/down my scent trail. So I climb down, which freaks the dog out, and I had to go catch her. She's up in the tower stand with me now. I've got her tied in with my pull up rope so she can't jump out.

Spotted the buck I saw the other night either he’s beading down in that ditch or walking it he popped up almost the same spot and dang close to the same time but no does either night
He’s walking back to the fence row again but once he gets back there I lose him big thickets back there
Just Had two fawns pop out of my woods while I was typing this maybe something will follow

And finding you have a trashed scope or broken gun part would be hard pressed to fix by Saturday morning by now with availability being what it is!

I honestly don't think shooting disrupts or disturbs them. I've watched feeding and bedded deer continue on as if the gunfire wasn't even happening.

We have been shooting in the summer and in the next field are turkeys. They didn't care one bit.

Son and I sat the last two hours of the evening. Ended up with a good 10 pointer across the creek. Doing what mature bucks do. Taking very few steps and standing for long periods of time. Got dark so we snuck out of there.

I shoot frequently enough that the noise doesn't bother the deer. I pulled the trail cam from the back food plot and there were deer in it while I was shooting today. I normally just need to verify POI and that's it. But this year I will be dialing in a new .308 in the next 2 days. Kimber Mountain Ascent subalpine. I'm taking the scope off of the slug gun and slapping it on the Kimber. If something breaks, I'd rather have it break when NOT shooting at a deer or on a hunt, but I have a few to pick from if something does go wrong. I've been shooting at the 100 yd target and have had deer in the shooting lane at the 200 yd target. I've also been at the 1,000 yd range and we were shooting OVER a few deer that were at 50-100 yds. They didn't give a hoot that we were shooting.

2 minutes after legal light had a 110” 8 pointer come to the base of my tree and sniff my climbing stick. 🤣 Wouldn’t have shot him, but of course it would have happened when it was already really dark so I couldn’t get very good video. Awesome day to be in a tree.

Yesterday morning spotted a couple of buck rubs in the woods right behind the house, out of the living room window probably around 40 yards. Fast forward to this afternoon while I'm feeding my youngest daughter in my lap I was thinking about putting up a camera out there and not 5 min later a big 6 or small 8 came thru and checked them out. I about threw her out of the chair, daddy instinct took over and I held on to her. Hopefully he will stick around a while so next time I can possibly get a count on him.
No other woods around from the direction he traveled. closest was about 1/4 mile away to the north, which lead me to think they are definitely cruising tonight. Just need them to keep it up thru this weekend.

I was kinda bummed out because I slept in and didn’t hunt this morning and wouldn’t you know it two nice bucks show ip on my trail camera at 10:30 so I hurried to my hunting area and bump one of those bucks on the way to my stand. I decided to walk back to the woods and hunt that instead of the edge of the bedding so I get set up and do some grunting and rattling hoping that I could call one of them in. I didn’t see a deer until around 4:30 and it was just fawns so they left and I grunted some more, I didn’t see anything so at 5:25 I grunted and did a snort wheeze. About 5 minutes later a doe and a spike come and go so It’s starting to wind down and I’m thinking well no deer for me tonight, I’m just sitting there waiting for darkness and I see movement in front of me 100yds or so away and sure enough it’s a nice buck. He came by at 40ish yds and I put an arrow thru him he only ran 50-60yds and piled up. I think he’s a dandy. I’ll post pictures later. So how do I post pictures lol
