Hey guys. Took Friday off and hunted all day before second gun season. No deer within range but lots of movement. Saw a few bucks chasing does hard and then they bedded down all day. Too chicken to creep in on and try an ambush so I waited and nothing happened.

Saturday was opening morning of our secong gun season (first was previous weekend and slow- didn't hear a shot fired within miles).Anyway, I decided to try and take a doe. She spotted me from about 40 yards but kept coming in and I had one chance to draw. She then kept her eyes on my constantly as she closed in to 25 when she stopped and started feeding. I released the arrow and it skimmed right under her belly. In the heat of the moment, I had fogotten to compensate with my pin (shooting one pin). She then bolted and started screeching and sent the high alert out to the entire woods. [:@]After that fawns in range and running deer all weekend. Neighbors did some drives and must have fired 24 rounds in 10 minutes one time on Saturday. After that it quieted down a lot. This morning I saw nothing.

Our second gun season ends Tuesday, so I'm putting the trail camera back out and taking a break until probably Thanksgiving. Hopefully, the deer will start easing up a bit.

Good luck everyone!
