Had an 8 pointer and some does on the feeder for a good long while this PM. I got in extra early and stayed till dark. The 8 pointer was just out of range the whole time.  The does would not come in to the feeder but hung around the periphery. There was plenty of racket in the woods around me, must've been some fidgeting or fighting as it sounded like crashing around in the brush.

I'll post a pic of 8 here in a bit.....

Got up late at 6:30, but made it to the stand just after 7.....clear and calm...3 does just arrived and there's quite a repeated snort fest going on in the woods to my SW. Same thing happened yesterday.

Just spooked same 8 point as yesterday with a feather scrape.....

Another older buck came back. Took a 35 yd shot. Looked to me  like he squatted and rolled away from the arrow counter-clockwise from the sound of the string. Barely spooked him, taking about fifteen steps. He looked around a bit and went back about his corn hoovering, then finally moving within 15 yds. I couldn't draw on him, plus I'm silhouetted (sun behind me). He spooked a bit again and casually walked off.  So these bucks approached the feeder from several avenues but all have exited the exact same route.


Staying put until 2.

Finally left the stand after 8 hours. Paced off that shot on the buck. 51 yards on the nose! Damn!
