Seen 2 small bucks and a nice 10 so far. 10 may have been a shooter but I think he saw me turn my head about 60 yards out and he shied away from me.

Bad part about hunting with my daughter is when nature calls. Back at the truck eating and fixing to head to the bathroom. Did quite a wide loop in our unit and didn't find an acorn one. Very little deer sign You need to get mom to work with her about go "el natural" in the woods!

Just had a large doe stand statue still on the edge of thicker stuff for 15 minutes 46 yards above me. She looked tired, so I'd say she was scanning her surroundings and trying to lay low from bucks.

I kept scoping around the area where that big doe was and found her bedded about 20 yards to the right of where she'd been standing. I can only see her head and that all-seeing eye. Lol! She's 50 yards away and about dead level with me in this climber since she's uphill from me. Now I'm trapped. Lol!

Just had a lone fawn sneak in quietly. Didn’t hear her until she was right behind me. Hung around under my stand a while

Buck I passed on this a.m., good looking 3.5 year old. My neighbors and I have a management plan and it makes passing bucks like this easy.

I wish I had one like that to just see on this place. I have not seem but 1 deer that good on trail cameras in. over 5 years and only got 1 picture of it. Some of you all don't realise just how luckey you are to have an abundance of that kind of deer running around. I know I posted a pict of a big rub but no picts or sightings of a deer I think would be able to make it Onebentarrow

Well, I managed to get down out of the tree undetected, or at least I feel I did. Once at almost ground level, the bench above me blocked the view of where the doe was bedded. I slipped out and headed for the Jeep. Pretty active morning with 3 bucks and 6 does seen. Now I'm taking the wife out of town for lunch. Lol!

I got permission yesterday on the property I squirrel and turkey hunt. So going out to a ladder stand this afternoon to see if I can't stick a doe. Taking my little camera with me "just in case someone big" shows himself. Weather looks good. I know I've already shot my buck but gonna take the rattle set out too to see what happens. First year using rattles, so excited. Rattles came from my 2021 buck.

Well here he is. Not much of a story other than the fact I had to stick him a 2nd time. 1st shot was in the vitals, but didn't expire him. After waiting 1.5 hrs I went on the search and ended up playing cat & mouse with the sun in his eyes. I was able to send another in his vitals and that did him in. Not sure if I hit a twig or what exactly went wrong, but I was as cool as a cucumber, had a steady rest, breathing under control and settled the scope on him.

Got down and climbed another tree on the downwind side of the trail all the deer were using this morning. It seems to be a good move as while I'm setting my climber on the tree a doe came tearing into the woods on the expected direction of travel. I got ready but no buck followed. All set up now.
