    As soon as I sat in my stand this AM, I had a deer at 25 yards but never got closer. Good thing because 20 minutes later I saw the little forks.
    Good luck y'all!

    Just had a doe and two fawns come in to some rattling. Then she busted me. What a way to start things.

    Just had an awesome encounter with a doe and two bucks. The bigger buck had a moose rack on his right and a monster drop tine. Only the small buck gave me a shot, but I was on the beast

    Nothing but squirrels. This is crazy, starting to wonder if I'll see anything this year.

    Very windy day...

    Seen some chasing off in the distance earlier this morning. Also got busted but not sure if it was buck or doe. Was confident about this spot but the longer I'm here the more I want to move.

    I really hate it when it's dead calm as well.
