    Me and my dog are on the way up. Didn’t sleep more than 3 hours. I’m anxious to see what I shot hopefully this is quick when I get there

    First public land buck super happy with him. This whole hunt was a big cluster I’m wore out in going to get him to the butcher and and bring the head home to score him. I’ve done all I can do guys get some deer down. [​IMG]

    Nice buck man! You need a few more dogs and hook them up to the sled for an easy drag out :lol: my dogs would just lay down. Congrats!

    I still hunted this morning into an area that’s really hard to hunt bc of swirling winds, but I wanted to see if there was any sign in there. I bumped a little 6 out of his bed, grunted at him and about ten minutes into our stand off, a bobcat kitten ran through. So I have a deer 15 yards and a bobcat kitten at 5 yards. It was after something and paid no attention to us. The buck and I watched the bobcat for about 5 minutes until it snuck off. I look back at the deer and he’s still moving towards me. At about ten yards he decided he didn’t want to be friends anymore and started blowing. I blew back. He was so confused.

    I moved down and around to another ridge after he decided he didn’t like me, and bumped some turkeys. Standing in the log road contemplating my next move, I decided I’d just head on out and save the other half of the property for this evening. I turned to walk out and a full grown bobcat was ten yards behind me. No big bucks or big buck sign, but a fairy tale morning for sure.

    All day sit for me. At 7:00 this morning I had a shooter working his way to the timber from the bean field and he wanted nothing to do with me. I’ve seen two midday does. One ran right behind me no buck in sight.

    The buck i killed was following 50 yards behind a doe, waiting for her to move and not letting her get out of sight. I’m betting she was close.

    Wind bumped a big 10. I was trying to get into the ravine and follow the creek up wind. He was one ditch down wind. Heard him sneeze a few times, tried to glass him, he blew, crossed the creek, and headed up the opposite ridge. I hooked around down wind from where he was bedded. Didn’t have his tail up and was sort of trot walking. Same spot I saw this buck two years ago only that day I was on the wrong side of the ravine. May be the same buck

    I’m livid right now. Just had a shooter on a string and then I hear a vehicle in the field. Loggers haven’t been here in two weeks. They just pulled in with a semi to load logs. Wtf

    Surely it won’t take till dark to load logs, maybe he’ll come back.
