Weird morning for me. Hour walk to my stand, bumped one 35 yards from stand at first light. 7am a deer is snorting repeatedly about 60-70 yards away, wind was in my favor and I wasn't moving. Never saw the deer so don't know why he was riled. Half hour later, same spot, a deer bleats 5 times. Again, didn't see it. 9am I hear foot steps and a big CRACK of a stick. Same spot, still couldn't see anything. Too many pines and hemlocks blocking my view. At 9:30, foot steps behind me, look over my left shoulder and a buck is 45 yards out. Walking away, ignored calls. By 10:30 I'm freezing, and decide to get down at 11:00. I pull up my rope, tie my bow on, and a doe comes flying by from west to east, right by me at 8 yards. I put an arrow back on, hoping for something pushing her, when she comes flying through again. I stood up before checking where she was, she caught me moving. Back stepped and ran off. Out at 11:30, and bumped one on way out. 27* and crunchy, just the way I like it.
Tomorrow will be around 12* with windchill at 0*. Hopefully can sit for two hours or more.
