It was slow here this weekend. Saw 1 young buck cruising a ridge last night. I gave him a grunt just to see and he came right in to 20 yards. I am going tonight and then back at it Friday. I have the day off! Our youth rifle season opens Saturday so if I can get the boy to shoot straight I will get back at it. Good luck!

Hunt 8 Day 5
Well had a great hunt tonight. I went out with the girlfriend at 4:30 and set up. We didn't see anything until 6:15 when we saw three does feeding in the corn at the bottom of the hill below us. At around 6:30 I could here a deer coming up the hill from the creek bottom next to us. I started to get my bow up just in case but I had to pause as he got up the hill quicker than I expected. The next thing I hear is "OMG". I look up to see a big chocolate rack at 20 yards unfortunately his vitals were behind a cedar tree. From there he walked straight away down the hill. At thirty yards he stopped and gave me a very slight quartering away shot. I didn't want to risk it so I let him continue hoping he'd turn some more I could only watch as he continued down the hill. I was able to get the binos up for a better look he was a great mature 10 around the 160 mark.
