This is the tree I hunted the first evening and the first morning. Its also the stand where Izzy killed his 8 point last year. I didnt see many deer there, but I had about 35 hogs come up on e on the first evening. It was about 15 minutes til dark, and I picked out a big spotted one. I drew back, released, and shot right over its back.
I hunted here the 2nd evening, and saw a pretty nice little 7 point, but he just wasnt hardly big enough. I saw a few more small bucks, and some does, but they never came in range.
The next morning, I hunted in this tripod, and saw several does. I was letting them get settled down a little, when a small 5 point came up to the feeder and ran them all off. After that one more doe came in, but she was sort of spooky and never came up to the feeder.
This is the stand that I hunted the 3rd evening. I saw several deer, Including one very nice, tall 8 point that didnt come close enough, and a monster fox squirrel.
The next morning, Robert asked me,"Skyler, have you ever hunted the killing tree?" So I was finally getting to hunt the infamous "Killing Tree". I knew i'd see a lot of deer. I got settlede in and it wasnt long before a spike came walking down the road.
A while later, a group of about 7 does showed up. Generally when you hunt the killing tree you hold out for a buck, but at this point I was getting a little trigger happy. One of the does got broad sided at 22 yards, so I held low and let an arrow fly.... right where I was looking. but by the time it got there, the doe had already spun out of the way and I shot in front of it. Darn it!!
