Well, my all day sit didn’t go as planned! LOL My son texted me before lunch and said he got a shot at one of the bucks that was chasing does around his stand. Told me not to leave my stand, wanting

There really are deer in the woods!

 

My wife tapped out at 9:30 and headed back to the truck. I texted here I wanted to sit still for a while longer. I packed up and headed out a little before 11. I jumped a deer just past where she had been sitting on my way out. I heard it and only saw a tail. So, I skirted the area where we park to see if I could get a better look. Jumped them again, turned out to be two does which turned and ran back towards where I originally jumped them.

Being optimistic I thought I'd drop my pack at the truck and sit for a short bit in a small gully thinking maybe a buck would come sniffing. So I drop my pack and motion to my wife I'm going to take a quick peek pointing where I was headed. I start walking past the truck and I hear a doe blow in front of me. I glance to my right and see another two deer looking at me, she stomped blew and both took off. I put on a little stalk, and they were both does too. I was hoping one was a buck, with just about all I had I was hoping one of them was a buck.

 

So we saw a total of 6 deer between us, probably 5 as the doe she had milling around was probably one of the ones I jumped on my way out. I'll take it! Actually seeing deer helps motivate me more then staring at squirrels and chipmunks.

 

I want to head out down here tomorrow, hopefully the coffee I spilled all over my little chair dries by then and my knees feel better. I don't know what's going on, but the past year or so my knees and elbows hurt enough to rival my back at times.

Big body 8 point I grunted in at about 3:30. Sat behind a rock wall for about 45 minutes. Quick efficient hunt for once lol. Hopefully my buddy doubles up.

Dad just shot a buck, he was worried he blew out both shoulders but it snowplowed outa sight, driving to spot I found him by road still alive and he finished him. He woulda been dead in minutes however. 
best part I convinced him to go sit in my stand on a close property to my house while we were cutting up my deer.

Well just got back from @Swamp_bucks. What a trip! Evan is a great guy and his knowledge of deer hunting is phenomenal. He was very welcoming I visited his house a couple times. He found me a lake house that was great. We went out to eat a couple time. Let me tell you what his wife makes a great chili. He came through I seen deer and got my first archery shot opportunity but I shot in front of it. He gave me some great advice and even went to search cuz he was 60 yards behind me and heard a thwack. He offered me a good spot Friday night but wind wasn't right and had a white out. He also helped me setup my stand in a great spot. Opening day was like no other I seen 32 deer came through where I was at. I had a shot opportunity at a big 6 or 8. Shot he stood between 100-125 yards pulled the trigger click re racked click he was still there moved alittle repacked again click. So he got away. Got to drag out one hell of a buck Evan got. Long drag with help of a few friends. Let me tell you what he's got some great friends. After helping drag the buck to the truck. I went back on stand I'm glad I did mid day was awesome deer were moving like crazy. I couldn't find any horns. 23 deer come through. I sat till I could in my stand 330 then got down legs and hip killing me surprised I made it back to truck. Went back to the lake house had a few beers and debated launching the rifle in lake lol. Hunted today 515 to 930 no deer but a hunting party member shot a buck. The hunting, hospitality,food,friends and his family were fantastic. His friends offered me to hunt more midday but had to check out of house and take a ride to the taxidermist. Thanks Evan for the offer to comeback next year. Memories to last a lifetime.
