Well it absolutely busted wide open tonight. From 3 a closing time the chasing never stopped. At one point a hot doe stopped and pee’d 10 yards in front of the stand. The last half hour I couldn’t look in a particular direction and not see them chasing through the woods. Biggest was a double crab claw 10 point I have pictures of. Very exciting!

At about 4:15 I heard footsteps on the hill behind me. I turn around and see the two does I walked into an hour earlier coming up my 4 wheeler trail about 35 yards away. So in about 45 minutes they ran off from me in the field and came back past me in the woods almost straight down wind from me.
Turns out it was a doe and button buck. Guess how I know? I had the task of helping out a friend and her son as well as my daughter and her boyfriend by getting each a deer. One down but not as much meat as I was trying for.. It will be tender and mild, though.
Worst part is I caught a limb about 8 feet before the deer and hit him in the spine. Not how I had foreseen my evening going.
***** Update **** I feel way better about tonight after a call back from the friend. She is very happy it was a young deer. She likes deer and needs the meat, but isn't fond of the "gamey" flavor of old deer. So something in this crazy year worked out to the good.

Been hunting every morning here in Ohio Co. since the 3rd, today someone flipped the switch. Action all day, didn't leave the stand because I saw deer every half hour or so. I plan to be in a tree from daylight til dark for the next 5 days. Couple more days to get it done with a recurve then switching to muzzleloader for gun. Should be a good weekend as usual for firearms. Good luck to all and be safe!

Funny story to it. When I saw the bobcat he was straight in front of me and walking to my left down in a small creek bottom. Other squirrels alerted me to his (somethings) presence as they were going ballistic. Anyways he gets to my left and stops, (maybe for a breather lol) I really don’t want him around as I’m not sure if a deer would be bothered by his presence so I make myself known to him....didn’t take much btw. Lol So as soon as he sees me he drops the squirrel turns around and shrinks down to about 4” tall and slithers back where he came from, in the meantime those squirrels start going ballistic again. Ugh. He left his dinner. Lol

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 hurry to my hunting area and bump one of those buck 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 think 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 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 congrats
