Congrats Glen, nice buck.
Yesterday morning, I had a coyote come through, big ole dog but he was out of range. I really felt good about this spot. I put my buddy 50 yards from me in another tree I was considering and the wind worked for both of the trees.
He saw 2 bucks, one really nice 8 point he said. I couldnt see them.
The leaves were falling constantly and it was just beautiful.
I had a hunter come through at 7:30, tree stand to his back and he sounded like an army coming. I could hear him from a long ways off. when he finally heard me whistling at him and finally saw me waving my hat, I could see the sweat dripping off his face. he made a semi circle around me and out of site.
Later I learned his group was doing deer drives. Also I found what I had thought was an un-hunted and undisturbed spot (last year it was, probably why there was so much deer sign there last winter), had a brand new tree stand 25 yards from my set. I found 5 more of this guys tree stands on the way out.
