Thank you. Maybe he saw me moving but I don't see how. He was on a mission, moving fast, jumping over brush, weaving in and out of trees coming straight for me but I only got glimpses as he darted in and out of sight. He did get pretty close to the trail I came in on and changed his mind instantly, maybe he didn't like my cover scent or was already spooked coming my way.


The problem is I don't really know where the deer are coming from, the buck came from the north. Just before dark a doe came in from the south. She was down wind of me and came within 10-15 yards but I didn't have a shot. She was is some thick stuff and never came out. It is still encouraging seeing deer and knowing they are there. Just wish I knew about this land sooner so I could have scouted it properly.
