I wish I hunted in a place where I felt I could pass a 125" buck. I'm going back out tonight after work but I'm gunning for a doe. I'm only allowed one a day so Friday evening is a good time to try for a doe. It will be cold tonight, in case I can't track right away, and I'll have Sat to butcher.

I've been seeing some nice deer on our farm lately... heard does bleating already on Friday and some of the smaller bucks seem to be getting interested...Good Luck to all

I am not very happy right now. I got stranded last night and was had to find a ride home this afternoon. So anyways I didn't get home in time to hunt the stand I wanted to. I look out my kitchen window (I can see my stand from here) and 6 does come out 20 yards in front of it over the next 10 mintues. Right before dark to young 6 points came out and fought for about 5 minutes, then ran off and a few minutes later they came back out and went at it for another 5 mintues. Very interesting to see as I had not seen that before.

Friday night I had two does at 50 yards until dark. Saturday morning I saw nothing. Saturday night I had two does come down by my stand but it was too dark to shoot. Going back out tonight.

Busted by a doe going in last night. Saw some movement 60 yards away right at dark but it never came close.

Guys we need to start gettin some points on the board. I am strictly big buck hunting right now, and will be until the end of November. Things have not really gotten serious around here yet, but things will really pick up in a week and a half.

Thought I had a doe coming to me on the ground at 15 yards and when she emerged from behind a bush "she" was a "he", a SMALL 4 point with about 3" main beam. I let him walk. I was doing some still hunting since rain had made the ground quiet and a steady wind was blowing. I got about 40 yards from a buck but couldn't get ahead of him in time to intercept his path. I'm going to try on National Forest land tomorrow evening and all day Saturday. I'm going to hike back in deep and see if I can find an undisturbed bruiser.

Well the deer is down and hanging on the meat tree. But she isnt sporting anything on her head. Got a doe on a food plot this afternoon...ran 40 yards and fell over. Go to Bowhunting for the story.

Going tomarrow to hang some more stands for the next few weeks and get this one butchered.

Got close guys...but not quite close enough.

Had a 140 class buck at about 40 yards. He came out of the corn field I am set up on right at the end of the night. I actually sat in my tree way past hunting hours just not to spook him off.

Hopefully he will give me another, closer opportunity.
