    Well I thought I would get a shot at the six but I did something wrong. I may have made too much noise setting up my stand. It's up now though.

    Had a doe fawn and doe come in downwind about 7:30, fawn was leading by about 20yds. Had me frozen in my seat. They were both catching my scent but never spooked. Adds a bit of confidence as low as I am.

    Finally got them both behind trees at same time and stood up. That's when I noticed the back half of a deer to my right, upwind. Could make out another body in the brush. Ended up being a basket 8 and a spike. All deer walked off the direction they came from.

    I thought about a stand switch but the wind just isn't favorable. I'm going to sit it out, hopefully the full moon brings some midday movement. A bit surprised by the lack of movement

    Got busted going for my bow. Sitting down not paying attention. 2 does come in, wind blew my bow sideways so I was trying to contort around it. Lead doe caught movement, had her head on the ground, behind a leafy bush and above the bush. Each position her eyes were fixed on me. They bounded off flags waving, luckily they didn't snort and blow. Hopefully a sign they're back on their feet.

    Seen two does 25 minutes or so ago, then one seen me. Moved to a more concealed stand. The other one is just to risky, especially for evening movement with this wind.

    Yep, 2 does just at the other stand. At least they went through naturally and not picking me off. Odd though, 10 does today and no bucks trailing, or at least visible.

    Round 7. Sitting in the bottoms. Snuck in without spooking anything, even saw the silhouette of a deer feeding about 65 yards upwind. Hope the luck continues.
