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.
