I'm thinking about making an evening hunt on Saturday. Won't be able to hunt that morning..........work:rolleyes:..........so hopefully I can get out there that evening. I usually don't hunt in the evenings so what time do ya'll think would be a good time to get out there?

Most of the movement I've been seeing is right at sundown, but you just never know. I'd say around 4:30 - 5:00 would be early enough. I'm planning to hunt Saturday and Sunday mornings, haven't decided yet on the afternoons. Probably depend on whether or not there are still a bunch of doves around. If they're flying good, I'll probably opt for a dove shoot in the afternoon.

I've got a one that I'll sell ya!! It's the Bushnell Yardage Pro 400. It's the older model but in excellent working condition. I'll take $125 shipped.

I went out this evening. Didn't make it to the lease until 6pm. So I decided I would still hunt the main road that goes through the lease. I parked my truck and began to creep along the narrow road, it's about 8 ft wide. I walked about 100 yards and caught movement up ahead. I looked a little harder and found myself 25 yards from a doe. Man I done pulled the sneaky-sneak and didn't even no it. Anyways, she is slowly making her way to my left but she is slightly at an angle. I raise my bow, tell myself to calm down(this is the first deer I have even attempted to shoot with a bow), pull back and get at half draw and "BAM" she busts me..............off she goes.:(

But I'm pumped anyway cause I got that close to a deer and I know that if I would have taken a little more time I would have gotten her. So I continue on my still hunt and I round the corner of the road which straightens out and runs about 250-300 yards before the next bend. I catch a glimpse of somthing WAY down there, I raise my binos(which I bought from preacherman here on the forums) and see nothing but somethin tells me there was something there. I look back up with my naked eye and see a big bodied deer crossing the road down where I just looked!! Now I'm really excited!! The deer never saw me, it just eased on off in the woods.

Wasn't a successful hunt as far as putting meat on the ground but it was because I got to "semi" draw down on a deer!!

Hunted Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings and still haven't had a shooter buck in range. I let an arrow go at a hog Sunday morning, but some brush go it on the way and I ended up with a clean miss. Supposed to be 58 here in the morning, so I think I'll get up early and run out to a little place I have right outside town for a quick before work hunt.

Beautiful weather this morning. 56 and absolutely no wind. Saw the same 8 point from yesterday then a doe came by acting funny. About 10 minutes later a nice 10 point came by trailing her. I was on the ground in a cedar thicket and when I drew, the buck saw me and went on point. I held for about a minute until he finally turned to give me a quartering away shot. He was at 25 yards so I put my 20 yard pin just above center right behind his shoulder and tripped the release. THE ARROW HIT THE GROUND ABOUT HALF WAY TO THE DEER! :eek: Then I see this spindly little cedar limb about 5 feet in front of me swaying up and down. My sight pins had been above it, but the arrow hit it as soon as I released. Oh well...
