I hunted last Monday morning and eve and Tuesday morn (first two days of season) without seeing any deer. Hunted again Sat. evening, saw three does one hour before dusk. On Monday, this week, just as I unnocked my arrow and began to tie my bow to my haul line at approx. 8:15 a.m., I saw a deer moving behind some brush, 15-20 yds away (it was a quiet morning and I could not believe I had not heard its approach). It turned out to be a 5 pt. that dressed out at 126 lbs. I hunt around Boxford/Middleton/Andover. If you remember, Monday and Saturday were the first days that approached the freezing mark, also, the full moon is no longer lighting the night.

Haven' t been out since, but pretty optimistic for tomorrow a.m.

Good luck.
