Saturday was a bust saw 0 deer in 8 hours on stand, went out this morning saw 0 deer. I'm begining to think all the deer have left the state. I headed out to the woods this evening and I was talking to my buddy about the crappy year I have had. He told me all it takes is 2 minutes for a crappy year to turn into an awesome year.

Well I got setup on a little oak flat, saw a few scrapes going in so I KNEW there was at least 1 deer around...lol. Well by the time I climbed down I had seen around 30 deer. Had at least 15 in range but only 1 that was close to a shooter. He was a decent 8pt but he never offered a clear shot. He came in facing me behind some does and quickly turned to check out some other does off to my left. He wasn't a monster but he would have gotten us 80"-90". Saw 4 other bucks but they were all dinks.

Hopefully this will kickstart the action for me. I am off from this Friday until the 19th of the month so I still have plenty of time to tag a hammer.
