    I'm calling it. Suns above horizon and I see the bugs and bees flying.
    So, a bright walk in. 10 yrds from gate to blind and deer trots off from under the apples I'm walking past. No snorting. I get to blind turn to close and secure the door. Turn and see a deer 12 - 15 yrds out. Get set with tripod and the bows squeaking like an old rusty bike in it. I have to break that all down. Next the above post happens , cam should have pics, though second spike was trotting past. Then at 7: 55 I see a deer pop out from the big white spruce and head away down the trail . It was another bigger buck. God this blind build was such a smart move.

    Awesome little palmated 7pt, snuck in behind me at 30 yards with a doe and a fawn, ended up spinning him and dropped him on the spot!
