Well this will be an attempt to put down what i see in the woods. Mainly for deer but you might see waterfowl or turkey entries as well. 10-16-11 First time out with a bow was Sunday morning. I went in at grey light and still hunted to the stand which is a 6' diameter oak at the edge of a beech thicket in a funnel. Sat till 11 and didn't see a thing other than chipmunks. Wind was blowing 15-20 mph. Temps were in the 40s. 10-17-11 Hunted the evening. Sitting in my stand by 3:45 off a field edge with a bedding area out on the point of a ridge. Hoped to intercept something coming out to feed in the clover. I spent more time worrying about my tree snapping than looking for deer. The maple i was in was only about 2.5-3' diameter where i was sitting and man was it moving. Wind was 25+ with gusts over 35. Had to take the long way around leaving because the bull in the pasture was less than welcoming. Temps were in the mid 50s. 10-18-11 Took my daughter up to our foodplot and had three doe and a 4 point come in. First doe moved down hill and down wind of us without a shot. My daughter sneezed twice and the deer ran off but i could here it stomping. I bleated twice to try and calm her down but she came unglued. My daughter started playing with the bleat and had another doe and yearling come in with a 4 point. The doe worked off down hill but the 4 point came into the plot. I took a 35 yard shot but believe i missed due to some serious string ducking. Cant find the arrow no blood or significant hair. It was dead quiet and i am also re thinking my broad heads (razor tricks) i could here them whistling all the way to the deer. Temps were around 60.

These were taken as you can see in the dark same location different Buck

Got a picture of this guy, close up, on Thursday night. Most of the bigger boys are strictly moving at night...guess that's how they got big!

Out in a different stand today. Back of the property, we shall see, was not fun walking back here with 13 inches of.snow
