Man the deer have been moving the last 24 hours. remember how 2 days ago i said i hadn't seen any deer in 11 straight times out? last night there was a fawn in my food plot when i got out there. i snuck up within 30 yards. sat there waiting for more deer, a doe and another fawn came out. the doe ended up busting me as I tried to get a better view. fun to 'spot and stalk', especially on a calm day.
this morning i saw a buck and 2 does. the buck was right on their tales. he wasn't anything special. then i went looking at hunting land and saw 29 does. tonight i went out and saw a doe and two fawns (several times). I MISSED THE DOE, man it's killing me how dumb i am. one more step and it would have been a perfect broadside shot with no brush. do i wait??? NO!!!! DAH!!! anyway, nice to see some deer again.

Bambi got very lucky tonight. I had 6 deer messing around about 40 yrds without any chance for a shot. They just kept walking down toward the highway when they turned around heading back up near me. I picked out the two little ones saying I'm going to drop one of them tonight. Well one of them got within 5 feet of being dead. I was ready to keep bambi from suffering through such a cruel winter. Oh well maybe next time.

No I can't grandpa. I knew I had room to get my tractor down there with my loader on it to get bambi out of there. Your talking to a very lazy hunter. I hunt over populated areas and areas I don't have to drag deer very far. I've also found a place I can donate the whole deer guts and all and still get a tax deduction.

I got another doe this morning. I had about the funnest 20 minutes in the woods ever between 8:40 and 9:00. a small buck was chasing a doe all over the place. In that short time i saw 5 different deer.i passed on the little 5 pointer, shot the doe right through the heart. the fletching end of the arrow broke off. i found it stuck in her heart while field dressing her. that was neat to see. she dropped in less than 30 yards.
I picked up the (all marketing, i know) mad buck growl (which does not sound like a growl at all!) and did some grunting and rattling. I figured I'd listen for deer as i pack my stuff up and get ready to go do some scouting. within a minute deer started showing up everywhere!!! pretty fun morning! now, i'm not saying this buck growl call is worth the hype, i'm just as skeptical as everyone else about these new mad and primos calls. whether it was the call or not that was amazing!!!! for all i know it could have just been a coincidence. like i said, i'm skeptical.
good luck these coming weeks guys. I'm taking the week of the 5th off to gun hunt. if i get a buck then, the whole contest thing is all over for me. hopefully i'll get one w/ bow.

Hunted this morning and saw two does. the wind wasnt all to bad but it seems to be kicking up this afternoon but I will go out and try to crush something. i am somehwhat upset that I have not seen one quality buck this entire season. I hope starting next saturday my luck turns for the better, I will be out for 10 days so something must come running by!

Well guys, NOvember is coming. I hope to start hitting it hard myself. I saw a pretty 10 point last night coming home from the haunted house. I know he's one of them hanging around my neighborhood. He was coming out of the park land area where there's no hunting. Who knows, if I get skunked next month up north I may have to start hunting one of these deer hard.
Good luck!
Good luck!
