10/27 am
Out for 2 hours this am. Just beautiful out not a thing though.
10/27 pm out for an hour behind the house. Jumped one going in but never saw it and that was it. I got to get in the right place. My brother saw two does and two bucks Sunday and my brother in law saw three does and two bucks tonight. Both the bucks tonight were grunting and following does. Looks like they are going. Both were decent bucks he said.

Jeesh what a day all wind and rain. I bailed until about the last hour. I walked up a little skipper and a doe behind the house. The doe busted me. Snow is not sticking here at all, bummer.

10/30 am 34 degrees
sat for 2 hours and had a big 0.
10/30 pm 39 degrees
Jumped one real big doe going in she blew about 10 times at me! Had a small 1.5 year old buck go by me at 5:30 a bit far out. I did not try to call him in. Not a shooter yet. Just when I am getting ready to get down I hear one coming out of the swamp so I wait for it to pass so I do not spook it. Well that takes like 15 minutes and then I hear another so yup another 10 minutes and I still bumped em when I got down. Way dark now!!

Had one little one go by. Not sure if it is a big button or a small lone doe. But man whichever it is one stressed deer. It took over a half hour to walk past my stand. 3 steps stop for 5 minutes, 2 steps stop for 5 minutes.....! Upwind to boot.

11/3 am 46f
Behind the house and had one small flat top go by real quick at 7:45am.
11/3 pm 58f
Had a 4 point 1.5 year old dead to rights at 20 yards. Let him walk by. Then he turned right at me and pegged me at 10 yards and we had a 15 minute stand off. I finally needed to move so said screw it and moved and he took off. That was at 2:45pm. At 4:30 I had a doe and a fawn, which was still nursing comeing in to me. They got to within 50 yards and turned into the thick stuff and vanished. Also saw one turkey.
I want a doe or/and a nice buck. I probably will get tag soup letting the little bucks keep walking!! Can not get a shot at a doe!
