    It looked young. Probably 1 1/2 doe. Pretty skinny. It circled around my tree at 5 yards this whole time. Big gust of wind scared it and it ran back in the thicket. Now its blowing. But this now gives me a chance to reposition better for when the next one comes in.

    Also the neighbor was out in there yard, didn't want to shoot a deer in front of them. They have since left, game back on!

    2 big does and a button buck just passed thru the thicket at 50 yards. Think they will circle down to me soon.

    Man just had the owner walk out here. He was sneaking around like he was looking for me. Walked right under my tree. I didnt say anything. Let him walk back. Some people just dont understand hunting.

    Now deer are blowing at him. This might be over. Still have a hour, so might wait it out.

    Well another huge doe just came thru. About 20 yards, just to thick for shot. If i was 20 yards to my left, ever deer tonight would have walked past me. Need to move next time.

    when you talk to the land owner, tell him sneaking in the woods ruined your hunt. You can’t help if him if he is hurting your efforts.

    “I know it’s your property and you can absolutely walk it whenever you want, but if you really want me to clear out some deer you should prooooobably not walk through the timber while I’m actively hunting them” lol

    Right before Holt lines up a shot on a deer he hears, "GOOD LUCK!!!!" as the owner runs toward him with a gold medal.

    If I had to guess he was checking on me to make sure I wasnt hurt or see if ingot a deer and needed help. Very nice guy.

    I only got 10 minutes, might give it another shot at a later date and make that move 20 yards to my left next time.
