    Bumped an unknown deer on my hike in. Set up in the oak flats. Nice to be in the stand and not camping in my house.

    I decided to get back in a tree so I’m set up for the afternoon on a new property.

    This property borders mine and while I’ve never hunted it I’ve seen a lot of deer travel through here.

    This isn’t the new 560 acres - I haven’t been there yet. This is a 320 acre parcel that a guy bought and he gave me permission to hunt it around my place.

    I’ve yet to get a daylight deer pic and I still haven’t seen a single doe from the stand so my hopes aren’t high.

    The leaves are bone dry and there is no wind.

    I’d love to hear a deer coming. When it’s like this I can almost sit with my eyes closed and listen.

    Almost.

    Plenty of light, still time. I had the same thing last night, all the deer ended up coming back to me before dark.

    How close would he have been if you were in the stand, you initially planned on hunting?

    Ok, then I think you've gotten close to his bedding area. Hopefully, he comes back around. Otherwise, you got some good intel.

    Beautiful evening even with helicopters flying around. First time in this spot and really like it. From the stand it's a text book location for hill deer and the sign supports my feelings.

    4” spike just walked right under me.

    He stopped and sniffed the small limbs I had cut. I was afraid he would blow out but he walked away.
