    Incredible last half hour of the hunt. Rattled in 3 bucks to within 70 yards. 1 was a 135-140 10 pt. 1 was a 115 8 and the one I wanted to shoot was a 155-165 10. He worked a scrape at 65 yards broadside but I wasn't comfortable with that shot.

    Coyotes get an arrow flung at no matter the distance! The thought never crossed my mind to shoot him. Didn't want the trend of wounded bucks to continue.

    Evidently the bucks did not get the memo that the screwing around was over, had 4-6 mature does with fawns on the plot and the only buck that had the courtesy to show was a dink 6 point. Then again 70 degrees on November 6th is not right.

    Heading out in the morning, going to the farm I haven't hunted in 3 weeks but my buddy got a nice 6 there on Halloween, I'll be in a stand overlooking a nice thick marshy area hoping to catch some bucks moving through it

    Have I mentioned I hate DST? Something wrong with waking up at 3:15. Ugh, but I'm up

    Leaving soon, good luck all. Only a 10 min drive. I hope it's still rocking where I'm headed. Sunday was no hunting so I didn't venture down, I thought about it to just sit. We will find out soon enough

    Up in the stand, it's a pain getting into it, the one beach that gave me pretty good cover seems to have come down so I'm pretty exposed up here but it's whatever, the only shot I can really take is about a 5-7 yarder, can't see any further than that besides out into the marsh/thick crap hoping I atleast see something today haven't seen anything in a week, walked in with fresh estrous on my boots, came acriss several fresh buck tracks in the field hoping one catches that scent and heads this way. Good luck all oh and just in good spirits here's a before light treestand selfie [​IMG]
