About 30 minutes later, I had another 2 1/2 year old come in and stop Broadside at 8 yards.

I came to half Draw and he Bolted. He went about 20 yards and started walking. My elbow Cracked loudly when I started to draw. He was young and handsome. His tines were short but I would have been very happy with him even though we have some bruisers around.

This is him here at the scrape I talked about earlier.

The stand I was sitting is in a strip of woods which connects the neighbors corn field and our soybean field. It on each end it connects to larger wood lots and even though it lacks cover, It has great deer movement.

The next morning I saw 3 different coyotes and several smaller bucks but nothing was close or wanted to come closer with calls or lip squeaks.

That is until 10:30 am.

I had a larger 3 1/2 year old beautiful Main frame 8 point (later to be confirmed a 9) come barreling through. There was no time to stand so I grabbed my bow.

He was dogging hard from my right and coming straight toward but behind me.

I twisted left in my seat and tried to stop him as he passed behind me at 16 yards. He never broke pace and stopped 80 yards near a scrape road where my brother entered the woods to his stand. He sniffed and freshened u the scrapes then turned back along the top edge of the woods. He cut out into the field and ran hard over the hill toward our cabin.

The whole experience last only minutes but I shook hard after that for 30 or more minutes.

Wanting to give that spot a break, I went back to the spot I sat the first night. No deer seen, Turns out this spot on the farm just wasn't being used this year. Its a big Drainage that deer usually cross and travel.

They also tend to side hill an old logging road plus They travel the inside of the woods below the field. Not so much sign this year...

For the afternoon Hunt, I went to the other side of the farm. we have trees planted and a food plot, There was a lot of sign, I mad e aground blind back into the pines but never saw a deer.

I felt good about the spot, but watched hundreds of Robbins, a few squirrels and hawks. Jumped a few deer on the way out. It was a pleasant evening sit.

Before leaving I placed a trail cam that caught a lot of deer we never seen before.

I was perched inside the corner of those pine trees only a day or two earlier.

After getting back to the cabin, I learned there was fresh Blood trail on the farm.

My brother confided in me it was a dead deer but wanted to play it out with our dad to see what would happen.

So I played along and acted like we were following a trail with an undetermined end.

It was fun to see the excitement when my Dad shined the light on the deer.

It wasn't the biggest buck on the farm but it was my little brothers first at the farm. He was genuinely happy and excited about it and the meat he now had for his empty freezer.

He made a great shot ion him and it went 30 yards.

Out of respect for Trad Gang rules, that picture will not be posted here...

here he is seconds before he was shot. The next camera photo has a tuft of leaves in the air.

Thank you Charrie for the memories and a good time. I hope to check those cameras in 2 weeks. It was a great week with you and your brother. Looking forward to next year already and just to think all those bucks will be just that much bigger. Your brother is in the hospital right now waiting on 2 future hunters to join us.
