Went out this morning in the cold, very quiet morning that allowed me to hear very well. I put some tinks on my boots before I walked in. After about ten minutes in the tree a doe came by smelling where I had walked with the tinks. She hung around under me for about ten minutes and never saw me. Around 8:40 I got out of the tree and walked to another area to see if there were any new tracks since it had rained this week. While I was walking around I heard something behind me and it was a buck hot on my trail (I had forgot about the tinks on my boots.) I shot the buck and put a little more meat in the freezer. It was just a small buck, but he was very much acting like he was out looking for females! Overall it was a good hunt, and it looks like the deer are finally starting to move around.
