    BEST OF LUCK TO YOU.
    Just remember stay calm and pick a spot then let it fly.
    I'm looking forward to seeing your pics later.

    Rampaige,
    Don't worry about sitting in the same stand were you shot you buck. If you have'nt been in it for a few days they won't be the wiser that you are there.
    Points for the board or not I would luv to see pics of you with 1 of the bucks that you saw that day.
    have a great hunt

    OK, back from my morning in the blind and even though I did not get a shot off I did see where all the deer are mainly moving

    2 Things did happen this morning.....
    1) I did have 2 fawns within 15 yards without them even knowing I was there. At first my heart was pumpin' when I saw the
    first fawn cause I was certain that her mom was following....no such luck.
    2) I finished getting dressed and headed into the woods and disturbed 3 deer laying down, 2 doe and a buck. The buck was awesome!! He got up did a massive strut and ground pounding with his legs around where the does were and then started
    wheezin' and gruntin' away like I was another male in his territory. Man my heart was gonna fall out of my chest, It was so
    cool to witness this!! ( just glad he did not finish the rest of his parade with a charge at me)
    territory

    Can't wait to get back out there!!

    houseoftoes... We're lucky enough to live in a pretty good state for whitetail. Just hang in there and I'm sure you'll have a nice one come by eventually. Good luck to everyone!
