What a morning! They're finally moving.
Well I awoke this morning to a light rain that quickly turned to a downpour. I decided to wait it out until it tapered off slightly, and it did. However, I felt like doing some still hunting this morning, and the conditions were perfect for it. About 8:00 I'm coming down of an Oak ridgetop and I see a doe flat out running across a bench midway up. I figured she's surely being chased by a buck, and sure enough, not far behind was a smally 4pt. She outran him and I think he may have just given up or got confused about where she went, but he walked right up to within 5-8 yds of me (I'm in the open with no cover, a testiment to ASAT effectiveness), and he never saw me. What a rush. I then went and got on stand that sits just outside a bedding area and between a foodplot. I sat until 11:20, but did manage to see another 4 pt (different rack), so it's good to see they're finally up moving.
