    Morning everyone. Saw two Does already this morning. Ground is wet, been raining all night and it just stopped. Should get them on their feet feeding. Just finished a rattling, grunting, bleating sequence. Time will tell. Good ground for a mid day stalk!

    Settled in. Almost went back to bed, overslept, couldn't get me act together when getting ready and then couldn't find my darn light. Running late so changed plans on where to sit based on how far the walk is. Might work out though, over the last 5 seasons this has been the most consistent stand on my property.
    Good luck to all. Last day here before gun season and I've got to go back to work Tuesday.

    This is the view from the fence line spot I hunt. I'm going to sit here an hour, maybe 2 and then move I think.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Back to where I was yesterday afternoon. Got busted in the dark, heard something coming and it walked right into me.
    Blew one time and trotted off, good times!

    Well 5 Does so far. Don't know how much I can take before I pull the trigger on one. You would figure a buck would be tailing one of them but nothing yet.

    Doe wonders by me today I'm gonna let one fly. Only problem is I haven't seen an adult doe in 5 or 6 days now. Nothing but mostly young bucks running around.

    Since vultures got to my buck before I did, and, because I have not gotten a doe yet this year, no doe is safe the next time I am out. I don't care if its November. My freezer needs meat. I should be out for Saturday evening.
