I haven't seen a deer yet in the mornings. I've seen 8 bucks and 5 does so far, all in the evenings!

Ready for morning going to have more confidence in yardage now.  Just got my new xrt6 halo range finder ready to go. Dad has same one and this is my first ever.

Saw 4 big toms and 5 different bucks tonight including this one. I'll post up my evening in the harvest thread.

65 degrees here.deff a bit warm for my liking but think im still going to give it a shot

I hung a portable for the first time in about 20 years last week. Since I bought a climber, I've had no desire to hunt from a portable since then. But there was a spot that I've been wanting to hunt and I had no choice. So tonight I decided to put a hunt in because the wind was right. But that was it. It was warm and muggy, and I didn't have any expectations for at least another week or 2.

I got in just before 4pm. Around 4:30 to my surprise I spotted a 4p. I then gave a short series of light rattles. Not long after that I had a small basket 7pt within 8 yds looking for the other bucks. I also ad 4 big toms move thru as well as a 6pt at 5:30. 

A little after 6, I gave another light rattle. Just before dark, I spotted 2 bucks in the thicket behind me. One of them was making a rub. As shooting light began to fade, they came out of the thicket. The first buck was a nontypical, which I was very tempted to shoot. His right main beam came straight down over his eye and hung down several inches, but he was still a young deer. At that point I was finally able to make out the other buck behind him. A big 8. He came within 5 yds and I double lunged him. He only went 40 yds. He's not my biggest, but for mid October and 66 degree weather, I'll remember this hunt for a long time.

There's a little doe licking the evercalm I smeared on a stump. When she leaves I'm going to try tickling the horns.  

[Taylormike]

First time in my stand behind my house since getting my doe last week.  Just maybe a big boy will walk into my arrow.  Good luck all!

It's windy and warm. I kept trying to tell myself to stay in bed and catch up on sleep for for some dang reason I'm here.
