Just got some bad news. My wife fell and broke her arm so i may not be able to get out quite as much. I will probably have to help her out around the house a little more.

I got ou this morning (Friday) and seen only two. They were way out of range though. I also went out this evening (Friday) and here is what happened.
I was out this evening hoping to take out my 2nd doe. I will be going out of town on Wednesday and won't be back until Saturday. I wanted to have 2 doe down by then and I have accomplished just that. Now, my son has 1 down and he still needs 1 more before Wednesday. That way when we get back it's time to concentrate on the big boys. In the late season I may take out a couple more doe as well. Anyways the story goes I was in the stand and had seen 5 smaller ones and then right around 5:50 I see this nice 8 point 100"-110" 2 1/2 yr old coming in. I wasn't about to shoot him so I was just watching him. Then out of nowhere I see this pretty nice doe and a couple of fawns come in. The buck started getting antsy which made the doe stomp a few times so I thought it's now or never. I let it fly and double lunged her at about 15-18 yards. The 2" rage did it's job and she dropped at about 60 yards. I will post pics in the morning.

Here is an update on my wife. She will have to have surgery. She sees the doc on Monday and we are leaving out of town on Wednesday morning to see my son graduate from boot camp. So, if she doesn't have the surgery before we leave she will have to wait until we get back. I know the doctor won't be happy about that but I know there is no way in h*** that she will miss our son's graduation. Also my son really want's to get a deer. This is my oldest son and he has never gotten one. I told him when he comes home I will have him up in the stand and he can shoot whatever he wants. He will be going to Afghanistan soon and I will just be happy for whatever he gets. Going out to that stand I moved tomorrow evening. Let's see if it pays off the first time I sit in it.

I seen 1 buck and several does. The buck was that 110"-120" class 8 again. This is the third time I have seen him while in stand. I'll probably be going out in the morning.

Went out this morning to my other spot and seen 3 does. I could have shot 1 of them but for now I am done with my doe tags. I will be concentrating on a buck. My son still needs 1 more doe then he can worry about his buck. I plan on going back out Monday and Tuesday morning and evening. Then Wednesday morning I will be leaving for Georgia for my son's graduation from boot camp. I will be back in town on Saturday and I can start hunting again. When I get back I only have to work Sunday and Monday nights then I will be off until November 20th

im heading to my buddies camp tues or wed or so and hunting through saturday...i killed my only bow buck up there...and last year during the rifle opener i seen 30-40 deer the first day! deer really respond well to calls and scents up there so im hoping they do again...
and to top it off, i got a couple buddies that live 20 or so mins from camp...2 are tagged out and they are big into filming...they got a pile of bucks running around(seen atleast a few legal ones in a short video they had online of one of their kills this season...i talked to one and he says we should be able to hook up...they are into deer hard...so im pretty pumped...and it will be the first time im on film if it happens!! i went to college with them guys and havent seen them since may so it will be nice to hook up with them...never got the chance to hunt with them...but hopefully we can make it happen...
