I was running a little behind this morning but still got out to my stand on time for sunrise! I just got settled in my stand when a couple deer walked right by me. After that I was thinking it was going to be a long morning with nothing else walking by since they moved so early. Boy was I wrong! At 7:06 am there was a family of 4 does walked by at 60 yards. Then a family of 5 followed same path as the last family at about 7:10 am! Both of those families crossed river in my site. Then at 7:19 am 3 does went to the far back corner where they also cross the river at. At 8:13 am two huge does ran up the hill going opposite dirrection from the other groups. Those does went out into the field and I lost site of them. A little Spike tried to sneak past me behind my tree. He was about a 5 inch spike. He came in at 8:18 am. While I took a couple pictures with my cell phone a deer came running down the timber and the little spike took off in chase of that other deer. Then two others ran off with them. Then as I drove around after getting down at 9:15 am there was 4 does out in the field! Seeing that many deer in one day was really cool and that has NOT happened for many years. I hope that is a good sign for this season and my deer to be harvested! If I would of sat in my other stand once again I could of shot at most of these deer. It always seems to happen that way if you have two stands not far apart.

had a fun night last night... got into the stand @ 3:10, got my safety harness strapped to the tree, got my bow on my hook, nocked and arrow, turned around to sit down, and I look out infront of me and see a deer coming out of the thick brush right in front of me... Wasn't even in the stand for 45 seconds... Saw it was a button buck so I knew I wasn't going to shoot... He ended up bedding down 43 yards from me after feeding for a while... He got back up after laying down for about 40 minutes... maybe 5 mintues later he bedded back down 38 yards from me... He never left the area until 4:50... It was real cool to just watch him the entire time... He ended up coming back later just before dark along with another deer... it was too dark to tell what the scond deer was, either a big doe or real small buck... Won't make it back out until Friday morning...

No deer yet for me...not even one within range...been really quiet.

still no luck for me... have had small bucks/button bucks and does come by me, however, thats not what I'm looking for right now... wanna shoot a good buck first... will lay the smackdown on a doe come gun season...

Does and button bucks are all I'm seeing as well. With this cold front the rut has to be starting soon. We had snow at hunting camp yesterday.

I will be down in the southern tier bow hunting this coming weekend. I'm going to my favorite hunting grounds where I arrowed my 8 point last year.
