Headed out again this afternoon..had an unbelievable weekend! Had a split brow 11 within 10 yds. of my stand on Saturday morning (10-29) that came in to a bleat can right at 10:00 in the morning. Walked directly at me... no shot except dead on until he spooked and ran off. Back out Sunday evening (10-30) and saw 14 does. Two as I walked in at 4:00 P.M. Then a group of six was under me for about 10 minutes... Had the largest doe standing in exactly same spot as buck the previous day.. broadside... let them pass. Five more does came by about 30 minutes later followed by a decent 8 point. Would have shot the eight if I had not seen the 11 earlier in the morning.

set most of the evening before seeing my first deer, hit the estrus doe can and acouple of grunts and almost immediately had a really nice 8 point come charging in looking for a fight I'm sure, had him at 32 yards but he never gave me shot oppurtunity, right before dark had 2 does come through and that was it

11/01/11- Hunted my best rut stand, called the Thicket Stand, didn't see anything until 9:45 when two does came through and under stand. They were then intercepted by a 4-pt that growled or aggressively grunted at them and run them away. Soon after that I was doing some aggressive grunting myself and called in a 6-8 pt which walked under stand. Beautiful morning, heavy frost, south wind. Top 5 morning for sure.

11/01/2011 Evening Hunt

I have been out 8 times now by far the best night I just bought a new climber and went out hung it at 1 and got in my stand at around 345. I tried a different strategy instead of crashing through the woods I waded all the way down the creek, no scent to leave behind and hardly any noise. Anyways jumped a doe hanging my stand. Around 4:00 saw a buck unknown size rubbing the heck out of a tree. I was hearing deer a lot in there bedding, but only saw 5 does come out of there until 645 a new BUCK and yes his name is Godzilla a massive 12 point. He was about 80 yards out tried grunting him in he looked at me like really dude I am old I know the game here I am not moving. So I will be back out in the morning for the first time this season.
