Congrats 870! Now go get that buck!!!
I went out this evening for the last 2 hours. My buddy came over and I put him in one of my best spots for evening hunts. He saw 2 separate bucks, and said both had their noses to the ground. Both were not shooters though, small bucks. He also had a deer sneak in on him behind him...one solo deer just before dark. He turned and spooked it, but did not see what it was.
I didn't see anything on stand, but had a lone deer come within probably 40-50yds just after dark. I could hear it coming right as shooting light was fading, but it never made it all the way to me.I have no idea what it was, but it sounded like only 1 deer. I still have not seen any chasing, though I'm sure it has to be happening by now. Finally we got rid of the hot weather, and it has gotten alot colder. Supposed to be about 30 tonight, and mid 50's tomorrow. Perfect!
Today was the last "official" day of bow season here in VA where I live. Muzzleloading starts tomorrow. I will be out there with my son and we will give it a whirl. He's 8 and excited about "getting one". He's begging me to let him shoot one, but I'm not real sure yet. Maybe I will later in the season, gotta see how it all plays out. Sometimes he seems like he is totally ready, other times he's not even close. You guys with kids know what I'm talking about. I will still be bowhunting and my goal is to get one, but it won't be with the bow tomorrow. Who knows, maybe a mature buck will show up tomorrow
Good luck guys! Get those pics up and entries on the board! Heck then we'll only be about 400 points out of 1st [8D]It could happen....
