    I had a fun sit. Had a hundred inch eight point come out grunting and pushing three does. Later on probably a one thirtys eight i have had on camera for two years now came out and started pushing a doe. If he would of came in range i dont know if i could let him walk. Lol probably going to take a break for a couple days, son’s birthday is Saturday so probably won’t be out until after that.

    I'll be out tomorrow evening. Got a few bucks that are daylighting right in front of the blind about 30 minutes before end of shooting light. Too windy today.

    Got some things done, so I can go back out tonight. These windy days haven't been the greatest but they are still moving. Got the same wind as yesterday so moving closer to where that 8 point came out at. Going to be cutting it close on the wind tho, hopefully it doesn't swirl as bad as it was yesterday evening.

    Just got off the phone with my bow shop. Rumor is Mathews is coming out with a comfort mod, that was about my only thing i didn't like about mathews is the draw cycle and hoyt is coming out with a tune ability system. He said launch day is Nov. 12th for both companies. Will more likely shoot both to see if its anything i want lol.

    Sorry just now updating, got covered up in deer, got to see the big ten i’m after and sure enough he was bedding where i thought he has been. He came out the last thirty minutes of light. I was on the complete opposite side of the field cause its where i got the last pic of him and haven’t gotten any pics of him where he has been so thought he moved to the other side of the property. Of course wrong. Lol he is probably one fortys, one fiftys. Good to lay eyes on him, just a matter of time

    Just hope he doesn't change his pattern or find one of the first hot does before i can get back out next week. Might try a morning hunt tomorrow before my doctor's appointment but wouldn't have but 2 hours to sit so might just wait until next week.

    He is not going anywhere Justin. Sounds like he likes the area he is in. He’ll be there for a while til the all the does are no longer in heat.

    Good luck @Logman
    @axtell343 yesterday evening I had 3 little bucks grunting and chasing a couple does but the does didn't want to have anything to do with them yet lol. my big 10 I'm after kind of bumped a group of does but he didn't seem interested yet. He fed for a little bit and worked his way back towards his bedding. I say next week should have some early does in estrous for sure.
