Bumps a couple of deer on the way into my stand around 5:30. Setup and settled in at 6am. Saw a small bear at 6:50am. He fed about 35 yards away for about 25 minutes then moved off. From 7:30 to 8am I had two doe and a fawn feeding towards me and a legal buck(6 or 8...not positive) feeding about 60 yards in the opposite direction of the does. Does came within 35 yards, but it was windy and I opted not to shoot. This is normally in my comfort range, but not in high wind gusts as we were having at the time. At right around 8am all 4 deer picked up their heads and started trotting into the wind....I have no idea why. The buck and does couldn't see each other and there was nobody else in the area and they were all upwind of me....just picked up and trotted off at once. About 9am I had a flock of about 24 turkeys feed through all around me. Just for the fun of it I tried to stand up and get turned around....I succeeded, so that made me happy! They fed around me until 9:45am. At about 10:15 I climbed down and headed to the truck.

In the afternoon I bumped two doe going into my stand location. Didn't see anything from the stand, and then bumped 5 doe on the way out of the woods. I'll get 'em tonight!

Sunday took a drive around the ANF and saw a couple of does and a coyote. Did a little scouting and found some good looking rubs and trails, but it's going to be tough to hunt....I'll let you all know how it turns out!
