Sorry Guys, I was hungry and had some Moose meat begging to be cooked. Thank You Tony for the Moose meat.
Long story Short, I didnt see anything this morning. I decided to try and sneak around and hopefully get lucky enough to see a deer before it saw me, and then MAYBE get a shot.
I got out of my stand and stashed it so I wouldnt have to carry it everywhere. This is about 11.
I went for a small walk and came upon a area that looked "nice". Upon Further inspection it had several heavy, heavy trails and a spot where they had been going up and down a bank that is cut deep from traffic. Upon further inspection, you could tell this wasn't from just the same 2 or 3 deer going back and forth. It looked like every deer in the state had walked through this spot.
I saw 3 more heavy trails leading to this area and that was all I needed, I huffed back, retrieved my stand and was shimmying up a tree in no time. Now I am attaching a bungy cord to a tree to attach my quiver, look up and see a buck cruising the hillside. He stopped on a dime when he hit my scent where I came down the hill and trotted back the way he came.
I finished setting up and put an arrow on, then gave out a few grunts. No Luck.
I was just getting comfy and look up, there is a deer 45 yards out. It just magically appeared like they do. it browsed a bit then bedded. Looked at my watch, its only 12:30 PM.
After 2 hours the young deer got up and was feeding in my Direction Sloooooooooooooooowly.
It made it to about 25 yards but was in heavy brush, I thought for sure I would get a shot but 2 does came through about 10 minutes apart and the young deer changed its course to catch up with them. I sat till dark because the deer were still 60 yards or so.
I will be back in the morning, then probably not for a couple weeks. I will make any necessary moves then. Oh, there was a lot of poop there too. I like to see that, because it tells me the deer spends a lot of time there.
wish me luck.
Great Deer Jim! Congrats
(for the record, I like young deer too
