    Had a few good sits this week. Thursday I had a nice buck come in on a doe to 7 yards, but it was past shooting light and I was all packed up about to tear down my platform.

    Friday had another unseen buck bump a doe, but they were at 150 yard on the other side of a beaver pond.

    Then on Saturday, I had this guy slip in on me. He was at 60, but on my weak side and busted me trying to get my bow to the other side of my bridge.

    Trying to figure out if I can get out some afternoon, later this week. Possibly Thursday, but I'm not sure yet.

    On my first sit, have 10 days to get it done. My 2 buddies that are here will be heading back east today leaving me alone to hunt the 360 acres by myself, with one coming back Sunday. Got in late, 10 minutes before sunrise, kicked a couple out of the tree line. Good luck to the rest of you.

    Shot a button buck this evening
    20 yard broadside shot
    Thought he was a doe
    Nebraska law states under 6” it’s considered a doe
    I’ll let LC decide how he want to rule on this one
    Pictures soon as soon as I have a buddy as LC doesn’t like my selfies

    Under 50 inches counts as a doe I believe. Good job

    Did you tag it as a antlerless tag or buck tag in your state?
