I was hunting SGL #46 in northern Lancaster. I saw 1 doe, she bolted when she knew I was there, maybe 12 yards from where I was standing. The rain was there all day, but it was pretty light, plus I had the gore-tex on.

Lycoming and Sullivan County' s,

Rain here as well, sat through the cold morning from dark til eleven o' clock, had a mature doe and 2 fawns come in to me at 9:00, had shot opps on the mature doe, passed on her and they bedded down at 40, 43 and 48 yards for 2 hours.....glad the ASAT worked it' s magic....I was able to get down and leave without spooking them....

Evening hunt, in a tree at three til dark......shot opps on a mature doe with a button 3 different times...passed her as well, then a small 3 came in, not a legal shooter but would' ve passed regardless, let him have a few years.

Mont. Co.
Went back out around 2:30. Did not see anything until around 6:00. I guess that was the magic number because things started moving. A 5" spike walked about 15 yards in front of me and hung out for a while. After that a big doe came walking out behind me at 50 yards but must of gotten spoked because she turned around and jogged off away from me. It was nice though just to see some deer.

I had to climb down @ 0830. The rain got heavier as the morning went on as well as the wind. Saw a soaked squirrel on the way out. Can' t wait for this week :)

Everything is ready for tomorrow! I am hunting from dawn till dusk all by myself since my husband has to work late. I am thrilled to have the woods to myself all day! I doubt I will sleep well tonight since it seems like forever since last season. Good luck tomorrow everyone!![8D]

Went back out from 2:00 til close. Nothing in treestand. At 4:30 I went to a hay field and waited at the edge. To nice doe came out and fed about 150 yards away. I snuck back into the woods and closed the distance. I snuck back out to the field edge (ehind a stone wall, barberry bushes and small trees) and I was about 25 yards from the feeding does. I got on position for a shot and drew my bow. However, I didn' t like my footing and passed. The deer were feeding down the field and getting out of range. I got back into the woods, snuck down about 50 yards and snuck back up. Again, I had a decent shot but not what I wanted. With all the fog and rain, I wanted to make sure I had a deer that would drop quick and not chance a low-light, wet ground tracking job. I decided to head far down-field, set up and intercept them. Unfortunately, my luck ran out and I guess I made too much noise on my last sneak attempt. When I got back to the edge of the field, the deer were gone. I had an adrenaline rush for about 2 hours so it was still a great afternoon. On my way out I heard about 6 or 8 coyotes going berzerk about 200 yards away from me. Maybe somebody else shot a deer. I saw a spike on my way out and a nice 8-point on my way down the mountain that evening. I hope next weekend' s is better. Fog rolled back in around 6:00. Wednesday we' re going fishing in the ocean. Supposed to be 70 degrees and winds 10 knots or less. Last fishing trip of the season then it' s all about deer.
