Saturday, the wind was wrong for my set stand so I hunted off the ground. Two imature does within 20yrds. Both busted me before I could get a shot.
This morning, my dad said there was deer everywhere and seen about 15. Last night, I sat till dark and did not see a thing. My friend hunted and seen several small bucks running and breaking apart does with nose to the ground.

This morning had 2 10pts come by out of range eating acorns. They had a small 3pt with them they came by at around 0750. At 1000 had a year and a half old 8pt come by. I think I will take Thurs. and Fri. off try to get one of the 10's before muzzle loader season starts. LCH

This evening was pretty good. I saw 7 does and they all fed out at least 50 yards from my stand until it was so dark that I could not see them. Oh well, I watched where they were feeding and all I have to do now is find a tree. Hopefully I will score this week.

My first self bow animal taken with a 69"NTN Bamboo Backed Hickory 50#@26". A 14 yard double lung shot with a 145 grain Snuffer on a Port Orford Cedar Shaft. I watched him pile up in seconds. It was an awesome feeling!

Leaving herndondt's place last night I saw three bucks about 150 yards down the road from his driveway running from a stripped tobacco field. One was probably the largest racked alive deer I've seen in person. Walking into the woods earlier we passed by at least three scrapes that were freshly cleared of leaves.

It's on central guys. Get out before the muzzlers go out.

Way to go Mitch, John told me you were in the primitive mode now.

I do believe too that the Rut is very very close.  I noticed a bunch of scrapes and fresh rubs this past weekend.  Also the buck I shot was gettting that rutty smell.

Good luck to all and be safe!

Passed on a shot opportunity this evening on a spike. I had the Dave Johnson longbow with me, which has yet to take a harvest. It was tempting, but he'll be nice two or three years from now.
