Sounds a lot like how my weekend went. I was hunting JoDaviess County by the way.

Sat morning - passed up 2 small button bucks. They fed around my stand for about half an hour. Kept me entertained for awhile at least. Saw a doe and yearling off in the distance right before I got down for the morning.

Sat evening - saw a nice buck about 80 yards in front of my stand. From what I could see with the binocs, he was a big 8 point, possibly 10. Looked to be in the 22-24" spread range, with every big of 12" G2s and 10" G3s. VERY nice buck. Unfortuntely for me, he fed out of sight through some raspberries and never returned. Right before dark I had a doe and yearling within 12 yards of my stand, but elected to pass due to the warm weather and the buck sighting.

Sun morning - bunch of squirrels and chipmunks.

Sun evening - one small button buck meandering around the hillside all night. He was never out of my sight for more than 2 minutes at a time. Once again, at least he kept me entertained.

This weekend is supposed to be cold and rainy so we' ll see what happens.
