Saw almost as many coyotes as deer. It was hot and dry on Friday. Saturday morning was very nice until the torrential downpour hit.  Deer just weren't around like normal. I saw 10 deer total and only 5 of those while on stand. One was a small 8 pt about as wide as his ears and spindly. He was a whopping 3 ft from the base of my tree. Just couldn't spend my only buck tag on him. Shawn saw a whopper out in the field right at dark. Things were just getting good and unfortunately Shawn had a family emergency and we had to pull up and head home. Long drive for 3 sits on stand.  Heading back out in November.

We had great weekend in Indiana, saw a ton of deer most we saw from the truck, we saw some really big deer. Farm we were on had just picked the beans, hunting there was very slow, by sat p.m., all tthe corn fields had been picked, deer flocked to those fields by the hundreds!
   I smoked a big doe on fri. nite it was the only deer I saw while on stand, 18yd shot, 25yd recovery watched her wobble then fall. First pass through with a stick, always close, but that 550gr, carbon+woodsman combo, whistled right through her and 5" into some very dry hard ground.
  Our farm was all beans, surrounding farms all corn, deer covered up those farms, beautiful land down there, going back for rut hunt next year. Todd

Chris S,

I knew we had that one 6 point in the state.  That's a true trophy here in the land of 4 pointers.

I'll be posting my trophy fawn pics next week.  My truck's on the fritz so I'll be hunting out of the Toyota Corolla micro-car.  Be fun to stuff a deer in that one  :)

Good luck all!
Take a kid hunting!
