Default Pleasant Surprise

Well I finally got my new bow and set out for the first time this month last night feeling confident I was going to see some deer. While walking to my stand I noticed these about 25 yards from my stand and each one no more than 10 ft. away from each other









Anyways thought I would share, I also saw a 2.5 yr. old 6 point last night, I was sitting there, its pouring down rain and just as I thought to myself; "how much longer am I going to sit in this mess?" This little guy came running right below my stand, no more than 10 yards away, I held off on him though...maybe next year if he survives Gun Season. Plus I'm pretty sure he was not the one making those rubs. Supposed to be cooler the next 4 days and I plan on spending as much time in the woods as I can. Wish me luck!!!

By the looks of those rubs I would say is a pretty good size buck making them. Good luck.
