    I think my snoring is keeping the deer away.
    Only 8 hour total sleep these last two days.

    I have seen nothing but tree rats this morning and now it is starting to rain. The deer, along with some raccoons, are going through 2-50# bags of corn a week. When I get home I will post some pics of bucks I am getting on cameras. Since Wed. I have gotten 1400 pics, mostly of does and raccoons but a couple hundred are big bucks.

    Seen plenty of deer this year, but yet to have the right situation for a bow kill...this past Saturday was my first opportunity as a doe walked out 15 yards from me and i rushed things...she caught me in mid-draw, blew, and bolted....i wanted to vomit

    Been in the tree since 6:15. While I was climbing up I had a deer blow at me and continued to blow while leaving the area. At 7:00 I had a deer walking within 30 yds to my right but all I could see was white belly. It was still quite dark. at 7:15 I saw a raccoon.
    Right now the sun is shining on me like the spotlight at 20th century fox. [​IMG][​IMG]

    UPDATE:
    I took this EAB button buck at 9:00. I had switched to squirrel hunting for the moment. I had just skinned the hair off a tree rat when this button walked up. I nocked a broadhead and pegged him. It was a bit far back but 60 yards from the tree he died. You're looking at the exit site.

    UPDATE II:
    Back in another tree on another property. Let's see if I can twofer today. [​IMG]
    Well it's 5:15 pm and in the past 20 minutes I've heard 4 gunshots from the neighbor's property. I hope he ain't kill'n deer. No firearms season is open yet for deer. It sound high power too.

    Well up in my favorite stand. Wind is perfect for it, however, it is blowing a steady 20-25 gusting to 45. Let's say I'm not real hopeful and feel mighty ridiculous right now

    I'm back in the same tree as yesterday morning where I shot the EAB button buck. The last time I was here in the pm I had 3 does come out right after dark. Maybe they'll be here earlier today. It just got done raining and the woods are very quiet except for the lawn care crew mowing a few houses over. The wind seem right, we'll see. [​IMG]

    Update: nothing seen.

    Estate subdivisions, million$$$ homes, in backyards, lots of deer. Usually only yards from my truck and 15 minutes from work.
