Set up yesterday morning on the back side of a beaver pond right where it is real wet. I can basically see maybe halfway up the ridge where it has some pines and then hardwoods behind that(that I cannot see)and the edge of a sloping 2 year old cutover that runs into a bottom of a thin patch of hardwoods. It's more less a natural funnel, but I really can't see all of it, which is what sucks.

A doe and 2 fawns came out at first light from the cutover and slowly worked there way into the bottom of some hardwoods to my right. For about an hour, I had nonstop action with a couple small 6 points running does out of the cutover onto the ridge and running them down the hill into the marshy bottom where I was. Never saw anything worth shooting. Also heard some chasing going on right behind me in some young trees not really big enough to put a stand in.

That evening only saw a 4 pointer coming down the big ridge with the pines on top, which he went in the cutover. Heard some more at dark and some chasing behind me once again.

I do have a couple of questions for you guys to answer. Where the hell are the bigger deer because Ihave heardthe smaller bucks tend to start chasing earlier? Also, I havn't really seen much deer sign as in rubs and scrapes where I am at. My friend did walk through there about a month ago when there wasn't much water at all in the beaver pond and he did say there were some decent sized tracks in the mud along with a bunch of doe tracks.
