Boy oh Boy

Had my best night on stand tonight,just becuse I needed to take out a seat to fix.This stand is ole reliable.I go to it when I neat meat,IE The Meat Stand, well I just finished rattleing at 5:10 and along the far fencline I hear the crunching of leaves. I grab the binocs and ,wowzer ,great deer I say. Up on my feet and grab the bow,man he had great mass I mustsay, I grunt softly and he jumps the fence and heads my way,well between him and I is a thick maze of willows.
Ten minutes later I hear him making scrapes, then from behind me I hear the sound of leaves crunching again, I'm ready with bow in hand and trying not to budge and look. Then below through the stand bottom I see antler,he's looking to see where the buck was that was justfighting. Scent-loc ,you have to have faith cause this buck came in from downwind of me. It's almost dark now and still have some time to make a shot but decide to pass as he's like maybe a 140ish buck. He walks the whole area keeping me on alert the whole hour he was around making scrapes. This buck actually did a complete loop around my stand looking up at me probably 20 times in the hour. Then from the original scrape I see bodies attending the scrape from the other side.
Two deer bigger than the 1st are enlarging the scrape with dirt flying in all directions above the willows too. Man what a site.It's too dark now to shoot and it's dark at 6:10. Well I finally got to come out at 7:40. What a guy will do for a deer. I'm starting to enjoy being on stand again guys. The majic time is almost upon us guys. Be alert and be safe. God Bless.
