Plenty of action this morning. Saw 3 doe early in the morn, followed shortly after by a small 4pt with his nose to the ground oblivious to me standing over top of him.

On my out for the morn, walking up the log road, heard some action just to my right. Sure enough a big doe. Heard some more noise, and sure enough a big buck. Couldn't make out the headgear through the brush but saw plenty of bone. Just then to my left another buck (6pt) is making his way over to the action, spots me standing in the middle of the log road 20yds away and hightails it out of there. Doe and big buck still hanging out. Doe decides to cross the road in the same place, never sees me. Old doe, with wrinkled face like a cow. Could of shot but thought to myself, this big boy ought to follow her.No dice. He strolls directly away in the woods.

All this 40yds from my truck and 60yds from the property owners house.

I didmanage to stalk the big buck enough to run him over into our hunting grounds since he was near the property line. Gonna let him settle down for awhile and hopefully see plenty more action this afternoon. Maybe I'll hunt from my tailgate...
