Was in the woods this morning surrounded by deer - what a great feeling. Saw a total of 9 deer not counting the ones passing by in the dark that I couldn't see but could clearly hear. 5 of them were bucks. At 6:40am I had 2 small bucks sparring 10yrds away while a bigger but small buck tore up a little tree. Did a little scouting on the way out and saw the area littered with scrapes and rubs. Not bad for the first time hunting this particular stand in a new area.
How are you guys doing?
