well my first day of hunting was sat, my hunting buddys went to the lease on wednesday, was suposes to be off friday but was told i couldnt, and had to work late friday got off after dark ran home and got my stuff together and went to the lease got there at around 10;30 they said they hadnt even seen a deer, and that the hogs were back, so i walked to my feeder to see what was up, no sign of hogs, so at 5'30 sat morning i took off for the stand, should have had 5 points for the team, but the morning was cool and almost forgot what i was doing, sitting there watching every thing around me, i see a doe coming in i watched her from about 30 yards away and was just admiring her, she was a big doe, than it dawned on me i was deer hunting, so i picket up my bow and by that time she was only 7 yards away the first pin on my bow is set at 20 yards so i held low but not low enough and the arrow went right over her, she only ran off about 30 years but she was in some thick stuff and couldnt get another shot, seen the way she ran and started walking she will be back, but what a great morning.

Well lets just say that my day today was about the same way. I decided to go to the public hunting ground close to where I live and I was there at about 3:30 pm. I waited until about 5 minutes before dark to start picking my stuff up and right when I stood up in my blind 2 does proceeded to snort at me and RUN! Kind of aggrevating considering they came right from the spot I watched for 3.5 hours and if I woulda been still for another minute I woulda had a shot. Sorry guys, but there is alot of time left so Im not worried...

I went on the 13th which is my b-day and had a monster gobbler come in at 25yrds. for about 20-30min just feeding. At about 6:45pm a nice 5x came in at 45yds and when he turned my way he was completely broken on one side. Very disappointing evening, thought I was going to get a birthday bruiser.

No luck this weekend. Missed a coyote Sat. morning at 30 yds (had to duck to try to miss a limb and shot under it). I did rattle in a young 8pt. Then Sat. evening missed a doe at 15 yds. Totally blew that chip shot in the wide open. Saw a nice 140" 8pt that evening too across the field.

Oh, and the combination of HS Scent-Away spray and ScentLok is tremendous. Had 8 does/fawns directly downwind of me for over an hour. And the HS doe urine works too. Had a 6pt and 4pt come to the base of my tree from downwind and lick the step of my climbing stick (I'd sprayed it on one boot before walking in). The 6pt hung around for about 5 minutes, so I snapped a couple pics with my phone.
