After the miss on the brute in the am, went out @ 230. On my way in I spotted a 10 bedded up with a doe. Later @ 5pm had a 12 come out into the feshly cut beans. I was kinda caught flat footed (moving stupidly). Did my best to prepare. Grunted and bleated, he got around 70yds.. best I can do.

Oh ya forgot to mention @ 4pm I watched a guy walking the edge of the field with a shotty in 1 hand and a beer in the other. Disappeared back onto the trail, im like fck, should have hollored @ him. Sure has **** 5mins I hear him commin up the trail. SO i yelled HELLO!! at him as I didnt wanna get shot. Was a guy who lived on a neighboring property starting the shotty season a day early, looking for a "monster buck" he has spotted a few times [:@] I bit my lip to the whole situation and hope I spooked the buck back into the swamps for at least another week.
