ilhnter Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I had an awesome weekend hunting, probably one of the best as far as seeing deer. Saturday evening I had 8 does come by and 6 of them in shooting range. I missed one of them at about 15 yds. Shot right over her back. Sunday morning I was in the stand when 4 bucks come busting in the woods. 3 of them were small and the fourth was a decent 8 point, but to small to shoot this early in the season. While watching them I heard walking coming up the ridge from behind me. Another nice 8 point walked up the ridge from behind me and stood even with my stand for a good five mins. He was nice, but I couldn't convince myself to shoot him this early. Then I look two ridges over about 80 to 100 yds from me and there are about 20 deer going up the ridge. All does and small bucks. After the nice 8pt makes his way by the stand a doe is following him. She stepped into the opening 10 yds away and I smoked her. She ran about 40 yds and piled up. While standing at the truck another 7 does ran out across the field about 70 yds from me. Yesterday evening I had 3 small bucks come out. I'll post pics later, because I'm heading back out to the stand this evening. The deer were on there feet in Southern IL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
