    Tinks is winning on curiosity, both fork and spike went to it. HS the spike went to both wicks and nudged one around then went into the woods and came out chasing a doe

    Got down out of my stand on the field edge around 8:45 buddy told me to go into his woods. Went back there and oh my gosh. From 9-11:30 saw 12 deer 5 doe 7 bucks. Drew back on 10-12 point. Had his ass at 30 yards. Two more steps is all he had to take to get his vitals from behind a tree. Doe ran through and off he went. Bummed but man what a morning. Apparently my buddy has gotten me permission to hunt on the 310 acres he has access to now. Hope to be in there tomorrow morning. ITS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!


    Good luck fellas.

    Doe down = season over!

    Had two does come in and went to put tension on the string and dang release broke! They ran away after that crap. 15 min later 2 more were coming. Luckily I had a back up release in my bag. Heart shot at 15yds. She went 40yds and piled up. Biggest doe I've ever seen! Now I have to float her across the river to the rr tracks then to the truck. Hope Wesley doesn't come this far.

    Don’t have to worry about me...but be careful non the less... and just remember technically you are trespassing...most times nothing is said...but just be cautious and careful... stay as far from the tracks as you can...

    I just put the tape to my Bock, and 46 inches, maybe I did something wrong? Or does that sound right?
