Well guys, today was great hunting weather but the deer didn't coperate. Looks like they are going to develope the land next to my honey hole and someone was hunting down in the bottom. It caused the deer to be skiddish as they came up the hill and I saw no monsters. I did see a ton of deer and have my spot pick out on thursday. Same place I should have been last year when after 2 dozen does came up at 7:30 am 2 monsters came up at 8 am.

Tonight's hunt, I saw quite a few and the biggest one of the day. He was a nice 9 point. He was about 20" with good mass on his main beams. His tines were short. They were only about 6" on avg. He looked like a young deer. He has good potential if I don't shoot him next month. The funny thing was he tending a doe and stayed below me for 15 mins. Then another buck deep in the woods was chasing another doe and grunting loud. That flipped the switch on that 9 point and he lowered his rack to push off the doe. Then trotted off after them. It was funny how it flipped the switch.

I'm not planning on up dating this every night. I expect the same every hunt. I will post at the end of the week unless I drop a nice one. Bad news is I might have missed the rut by 1 week. Next week should be fun. It could be a disaster if I try to hunt next week. I might loose my job and my wife might move out and divorce me. I might be wrong on the last statement. I was told it's not the wife who has to move. On the other hand, I guess I would have plenty of time to hunt.

Good luck everyone.
