    Just had 4 does at 17 yards and then my 8 point came up the hill but would only get to 52 yards. Adrenaline is pumping now!!!!

    huge muley buck at twenty yards in thick thick brush, couldn't get a shot. Started moving slowly to get into position to get a shot and a coyote pops up over the next ridge.... Bye bye buck... Then the coyote took off the other way... No kills this morning in NE Montana. Glassing for the next big buck on top of the ridge. 1475422306443.jpg

    Sitting in a bean field that I normally would stay clear from cause it's almost all yellow but I've been seeing deer in it and it's the only stand that's got a good wind this evening. Figure I got more of a chance here than sitting in the house

    On stand. First time in several seasons where I have white acorns dropping from several tress by me. Hope a big gun comes into feed. Brought my buddy with me. He started hunting 3 years ago. Has taken two deer with his bow...hoping he takes a decent buck this year.

    Good luck! You have good conditions, unless that wind direction is screwing you up? My white oaks didn't drop at all this season, none of them. They're usually every other year, but not this time. I guess I'm waiting for a third year.

    Wind direction is not bad for 75% of my shots and where I think they will come in from.

    Very very poor acorn crop in the Midwest and north this year...we had a freeze after some nice weather when the tress were flowering, saying it killed a lot of the acorn crop...

    All settled in for my first hunt out of the new tripod stand I put up this year and of course I forgot the cushion back at the house. Oh well still a great afternoon in the woods.
