    Man this year has been wild.

    [​IMG]

    Hung this set yesterday. Had a buck grunting a bit this morning and then had a doe walk out into this field solo. Texted my buddy that a buck might be with her and sure enough out steps a beautiful 9 point. He wasn’t leaving her no matter how hard I tried.

    Amazing how many buck encounters I’ve had this year. Probably 8-10 different occurrences. Nothing to show for it but lucky to have experienced this.

    Day 4 has started better than the rest. Small 4 pt on the move. A group of our guys are on a lease north of me in MO and 4 guys saw 100+ deer yesterday while the rest of us saw very little. One hot doe makes all the difference. Good luck today!

    A cold am in the northeast. Been quite here since climbing in at 5:45. Frost is starting to melt off, I’m hoping that spurs some activity.

    Just had the biggest buck I've ever seen while hunting Chase a doe past me. No chance for a shot. The day is young. Great day to be in a tree

    I should probably stop acting like I'm a big deer slayer and shoot one of these 120-130's

    Tried something different this morning, called in breakfast about 5 minutes ago. Going to give it 10 minutes then go see if its ready. Everything tells me it will be, but always that bit of lingering doubt.

    Only a little spike so far for me on the deer but I had an incredible experience!! I am hunting an old river slough that I have hunted for 16 years now and this morning I am hunting between the levee and the slough in a pinch 50 yards wide between 2 bedding areas.

    I see pretty good size ripples in the water and then am able to see 2 river otters! They are around here now but I have never seen one before. Then out of nowhere a golden eagle crashes in the water and it is chaotic for a moment and the eagle finally flies off without a kill.

    I have hunted for almost 30 years have never seen a river otter, and only a handful of golden eagles. Amazing experience

    Seems like I’ve seen this picture circulate in previous years... no doubt a huge bear, just don’t think it is from the year...
