I've only managed to get out 5 times so far and have seen 7 deer from the stand, including 3 yearling bucks. Last Thurs. I passed up a 3-pt. at 15 yds. in the morning and then in the evening I had a buttonbuck eating acorns within 10 yds. of my stand for over an hour. Last night, I went out in the rain and ended up passing a 25 yd. shot on an awesome little yearling 9-pt. that I've been watching since summer. He's a mainframe 8-pt with kinda palmated beams and really long browtines. His coolest feature is a small palmated fork on his right G2. I watchedhim through binos for 15 minutes. He'sbig bodied for a yearling andhis neck is swelled up too. I sure hope he makes it through gun season...He'll be a monster in a couple of years. Hopefully, I'll get a crack at a buck thats at least 2.5 yrs. old or a big doe in the near future.. Good luck to everyone.
