Wife and my friend both got 7p dmp tags in the mail today. I’m gonna go out with no intention of shooting anything tomorrow morning. Buddy in pa had non stop bucks chasing doe

My neighbor next door has a camp and a lot of people come in from Maryland. Some of them were denied doe permits when buying license. They (2) just got letters in the mail along with doe permits. 8P did not have any left over, how this happens no idea.

Damp out, cool, showers stopped early. Lightest breeze all week. Deer out, so couldn't get in to where I wanted to be.  Nothing close again

Mission accomplished this am, saw 3 doe, a 3 pt tailing one 15 yards by me, got my sticks on the tree, massive scrape 20 yards away. 4 fawns bedded by me had to spook em off to leave.

Perfect spot for a light north breeze. Hope the one doing this shows up.

Took a button buck last night. My mistake thought it was a small does Mom. Texted my brother for the quad and three racked bucks were together coming through the woods. Crazy stuff.

Passed on a spike. He was wide open and broad side but I let him go. I pulled the phone out and took a few pics when he got behind me.

Day 3 of my mini rutcation checkin. No deer in camp yet one of the guys shot at what he believes to be a nice 8 yesterday it was limping bad as it made it's way to the thick stuff. The three of us looked around for 3 hrs in some nasty stuff sometimes down on hands and knees but not one drop of blood found. Today I caught glimpse of a nice Buck out on a wood line about 250 yards out but just as I was getting him in the scope he went out of view in some thick stuff. I ended up catching a glimpse of him in another thicket about 150 yards out but no shot. That was the last I seen of him then not 10 minutes later l heard a shot in the direction I seen him last so I'm guessing he finally gave someone a shot. Just going in for an afternoon watch then the last hunt is tomorrow morning. Like I said no deer in camp but we still have had a great time.
