    Had a buck come in behind me (again) just before first light.

    Despite my best effort I never could tell how big he was but he walked right in front of one of my cameras I put up yesterday so I should have pics of him when I get down.

    He walked right through my scent stream and only paused for a second. I’m growing more and more impressed with the Ozonics.

    Another one just bedded with it. I assume its the twin fawns that have been running around all Spring Summer and they have lost their spots. Momma is usualky with them but hasn't shown herself.

    I’m sure the buck movement is over with. Well, the big buck movement that is.

    I’m going to sit until 9:00 or 9:30 and see if that doe walks by.

    There's two of them! Can't tell how big but one has wider taller antlers. They are lightly sparring. Need one to come 10yds closer. Grunted at them but they didn't care.

    I believe they have bedded or moved off in the other direction, not seeing them now. They were just 40yds the wrong way today. They come by my camera which is 10yds away, so its just a matter of time. Fawns just got up and are walking away too.

    And just like that with the Ozonic's confidence boost, @LittleChief's predicted body count for the year rose to 20. Very fitting.

    For about 15-20 minutes I was listening to wha sounded like a little yup-yap dog barking. It sounded like there was another dog there too. Lots of growling, barking and one almost sounded like it was in distress.

    I whistled around 15 minutes ago and they shut up and disappeared.

    I might as well get down. I don’t think any deer are going to come through here this morning after that.

    I’m going to move this climber to the SE corner of my property. That’s where both of those bucks went.
