The second morning we were in a box blind watching a power line. A little after first light we had a deer come out a bit over a hundred out and turn walking away. We got the glasses on it and it was a good buck fo Conner. Some more deer came out farther out and a couple were running around and such. At about 150 yards the first buck met those deer and a smaller buck instantly started sparring with him. This went on for a while with the bigger buck pushing him around and once flipping the smaller one over. All this time Conner has the scope on them waiting for a clear shot. The buck kept moving or had deer in front or behind or the power pole in the way. After about 10 minutes Con finally had a clean shot and bang. The smoke cleared and the buck dropped right there. The shot was 148 yards with my Triumph ML. Great shot right in the shoulder. We stayed put for another hour plus and ended up seeing 19 deer that morning but nothing else close enough or big enough to shoot.

Okay headed to NC 10/4. My younger brother Jeff, my 15 yo son Conner and myself. We hit the road Wednesday and did half the trip. 10/5 we drove the other half and got into the lodge around 4-5. We got moved in and met the one other guy in camp and with the owner all headed into town for some chicken and biscuits. We had a relaxing evening an uneasy with expectations sleep and an early morning. So our hunt started Friday am and the outfit has about 10,000 acres of farms leased. In the mornings we would focus on areas a small distance inside the woods hoping to cut off deer coming in from the fields. In the evening the opposite and watch the fields for them to come out. The other guy in camp took a doe the first day we hunted, which was his last. We were the only ones in after that. I'll just highlight the exciting points. One evening we all hunted a big sweat potato farm. The potatoes had been harvested but a ton were left in the dirt and the deer loved them. Con and I saw 34 deer that watch, my brother saw 20 something. My brother missed a real nice buck at 180 yards he was pretty sad but it was a clean miss as the deer came back out later too far away. Con and I just could not get a break. We played the wrong side of blind game trying to switch to get him a shot and almost had multiple chances but deer to far or kept moving or.... I was going crazy lol I am real proud of him for not taking a shot he was not 100% about. Part 2 coming Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's very stupid that some places have to and some don't. It should either be all or none cause nobody can come up with any intelligent answer why it is the way it is currently! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's hot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just for full disclosure we are on a trip and hunting in North Carolina muzzleloader season not up home. And the temps have been about the same as home. I do realize hunting farms with corn, peanuts, sweat potatoes, soybeans is pretty cool!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We saw 19 this morning. They were still moving at 9 when we got down but wanted to get the buck cooled off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well we saw over 30 deer tonight. Either we got busted, too tiny to shoot or too far out to shoot. This is killing me two person stands and we keep getting on the wrong side. Trying to switch mid deer ain't working Smfh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
