Well boys day 1 was a bust for me. I was up in the stand at 5:45 this morning, and sat until 9:30. I picked my camera up on the way out, and apparently there was a little six point in front of it at 5:30 fifty yards from my stand. Besides not seeing anything it was still awesome to be up in a tree for the first time in a while.

Gonna be honest with you man, it's going to be HARD for you to top last year's buck! Maybe not points-wise for this contest, but that was truly a deer of a lifetime, or at least to me.

Only about 9 more days and then we'll get started. I got nothing exciting on trail cam, but honestly haven't had it at half the places I hunt. I'm going to take my bows and stack up does like firewood, lol. We get to take 5 per year, and there's tons of them just hanging around! I can't wait to get my longbow out this year and whack one (I hope).

I doubt I'll ever be able to top him either. Not a day goes by that I walk by him and think about how lucky I am that our paths crossed.

I've been out four times since last Wednesday, and have only seen a doe with a small fawn. These 90 degree days probably aren't helping anything either though.

I went out on Saturday and sat in a new stand. I got busted by a 140" 8 pointer. He came in from behind me and when I turned to look, he stomped and then just trotted off. I don't think he was spooked to bad, just didn't know what that blob in the tree was doing. I had a 4 and 7 pointer pushing each other around right in front of me.

I saw a ton of deer. 4 does, 3 fawns, and 5 different bucks. The 7 pointer walked right out in front of me at 15 yards.

Had 6 big does and a button-head feed by. Man they made me out like crazy with the wind. Everyone of them came by in pairs and always had one looking at me. Sun was beaming down on me like crazy. Got to get up early tom and work at the camp. Maybe will get a chance to hunt tom afternoon depending on what time I get off the tractor.

Had 7 come by yesterday afternoon, and missed the tall goofy buck I got on cam, Don't know what you'd call him, maybe a 6pt, but his horns are straight up and he meets the A/Rs AND he's on a piece of property here in town I'm hunting where everything's overpopulated, so I took the shot. Missed a 15 yards! I hate that climber and won't attempt to shoot sitting down again in it. The shooting rail forces you to bend over hard and I think my form just got all screwed up.

Redeemed myself this morning.

Not going to enter a doe in the contest. We only get one deer, and if I can't do better, I got bigger problems than this contest :D
