I have went out 3 time now the first 2 times all I have seen is alot of squirells.I went out this morning and alittle before 7 had 2 red foxes walk about 5 yards in front of my stand. Then about 10 til 8 had a doe and two little ones come in, when I stood up the ladder stand made a little noise, and of course she heard it and looked right up at me. She finnally went back to feeding but you could tell she was nervous. When she got bedhind some brush I drew back and when she got into a opening I let it fly. I ended up hittng a small limb that I did not see and the arrow went under the doe..

I went out this morning had not seen anything decide to get out and lowered my bow down it could not of been on the ground a minute at the most was getting ready to climb down and I see 2 sets of legs coming towards me. The 1st was a nice 2 12 year old 8 pointer and the second was a scrub 4 pointer. I managed to get my bow pulled back up the 8 pointer saw the bow being raised right as I got it to the stand so I froze and he finally went back to feeding then the 4 pointer blew one time and they both took off.

I went out in the morning had seeing squirrels all morning had 3 or 4 right behind me and all of a sudden I see a hawk come swoopingg in and nails one about 10 feet behind my tree. It pinned it down for a little bit and then the hawk saw me a let it loose and flew off. Then at about 8.45 I heard something behind me I turned and there was a 4 pointer and a small 8 pointer within 15 yards of my stand. Neither one offered a shot.

Hunted the morning same tree as yesterday got settled in had a flock of turkeys roosted about 50 yards from me and of course they fly down away from me. See about 10 or so goine dow the other side of the ridge. Then about 9 another 10 or 13 turkeys come across the ridge they don't get no closer then about 35 yards I had to try a shot missed and lost the arrow.:frown: Probaly won't get out til next weekend.

Got in my stand around 6:00 am saw my first deer around 6.45 a good size doe. She came within about 35yrds of my stand and clicked the safety off and I think she heard it and was looking towards me put the crosshairs right below head on the neck ended up hitting her in the head. One deer down one to go. I had a small 8 pointer with one side broke off come in the same trail the doe took, let it walk but i think it got shot further on down the ridge a few minutes later.

Didn't see much this morning had a small 4 pointer come about 30yrds from stand. Then I jumped another deer on the way out of the woods but could tell what it was. I didn't get to hunt much during the week. My dad got a button buck on tuesday and the landowers boy killed a doe tuesday evening he hunted a total of 20 minutes.
