I had a little buck nail me on the draw.  Could have very easily made meat with a doe, but I wanted a buck so I waited.  At about 7:30, here he comes, strutting in like he was the big dog in town.  I saw that he was a 6 point with no spread but great length and decided to try and stick him if the shot presented itself.  After about 10 minutes of him posing around the does they ambled of and left him all by his lonesome.  I got in a hurry and raised my bow with nothing between him and me.  Yup he saw the movement and got nervous.  A few seconds later he pranced of and stopped to look at me at about 40yrds.  Clear shot and he really wasn't spooked, but 15yrds out of my comfort zone.  I just let him be and eased out after he left.
I still hunted the 1/4 mile back to camp along some live oaks and finally came up to a little doe about 15yrds away with her head down feeding on some acorns.  As I started drawing back I had thoughts of her on my grill.  My empty stomach got ahead of me and let out a growl that spooked even me and there she goes, LOL.  Didn't even raise her head...just bolted from that position.  I smiled and had a loud chuckle over that and headed back up to camp.  
This morning was the only chance I got to go, but it sure was fun.

I had a bachelor group of bucks come in right at first light on Saturday morning the wind was right but I couldn't get a shot at this nice 10 that I wanted becase I didn't have a time where at least one set of eyes wasn't looking in my direction.  A big ole fat Angus Cow came in and scared the group off so they left the stand unmolested.  The wind wasn't in my favor on Sat. Eve so I hope to get back over there and get another shot at the 10.  I will post pics if sucessful.
