Thanx fellas...
So....the rain had finally quit, but the wind sure hadn't!!! It was blowing, and blowing hard with gust up to 30-35mph....but we were gonna hunt for sure!
I headed to the ladderstand I'd put up the day before in the monsoon..."Guru's Gap"...
•
I got settled in, and was getting seriously blown around. I mean there were times I held on to my bow with one hand and the tree with the other!
I wasn't there a half hour when all of a sudden I see a big buck come busting out of the timber to the west of me about 80yds away...running flat out, tail down.
He runs out into the bean/weed field as I reach for my bow....runs a complete circle around a huge brush pile that was in the field....then heads north still running and disappears....what in the world????
He appeared to be a big 8, but could have had more....
Just as I'm about to hang my bow back up, a small buck comes busting out and does the same thing...except of course he doesn't do a complete circle around the pile...he does a half circle and runs straight toward me and stops at 10yds.....figures!!!!!
The wind had these deer on edge, he hung around nervously for 30sec or so...then took off to the north as well...
The brush pile...

As the sun was getting lower, with the wind still whipping, I notice a deer to the east out in the scraggly bean/weed field to that side of me(this stand covers the "gap" in the hedgerow that the tractor uses to get from field to field).
•
Soon I could see a really big doe, a "normal" size doe and a fawn heading toward me...but the wind had that big doe as edgy as a Texas deer at a corn feeder!
•
They ended up closing to about 50yds, then the big girl just kinda wigged out and they all left the field....dang it, I wanted to fill my doe tag!!!
The night ended beautifully...
