Man I was soooo close to getting a shot at a nice 9 or 10pt. tonite. He had to take three more steps and look away and I would have taken my shot. He was about 15yds. out. Eventually he did take those three steps, only problem was while he was taking them steps his eyes were glued right on me. He did a quick half circle around me and fled. It was probably good I didn't get a shot because it's been raining since 5:30 tonite and he didn't come out until 10 minutes before dark. That was the closest I have came to getting a shot at a mature buck in a long time. Now that was exciting.
I also saw a doe with a pair of fawns, a fork buck, a buck with 4 on one side and 1 on the other, and a 2.5yr.old 8pt.
The worst part about the nite was the fact that I got busted three times tonite. Once by the fawns, once by the fork, and once by the ten. I have been doing so good too. I guess sitting up against a birch tree is not a good idea. Problem is I don't have many options around this field. Trees are far and few between and they are all small.
