    Had a group of does come by before legal light. Also had two young bucks that were pretty vocal.

    Feels like a late October morning.

    Just did my first rattling sequence for the morning. Went to hang them over my shooting rail, and the knot came untied, and one went tumbling to the ground!!! Hitting every rung of mystery stand. 5 minutes later I look up And here comes a little buck, couldn't tell how many points. No clear shots..

    Passed on a nice 10 about a half hour ago. He crossed paths with a smaller 8 and they circle around eachother eyeing one another up. The ten gave a couple snort wheezes. Pretty cool. Never heard a snort wheeze in real life before.

    I know you'd like to see some deer in that picture but it sure is beautiful scenery.

    Worst morning ever for sightings. How do you get skunked with 40 degree calm weather outside of a doe bedding area in late October? Better luck to you all.

    Skunked this morning as well, trying to decide on a plan for this evening. So far I've got no idea.
