10/17/12 evening sit
got on stand at 4;30 pm, great weather slightkly overcast witha low steady wind
could hear tree rats from a 100 yrds out
BUT only thing I seen were 2 coyotes, first one came out at about 6 pm, and was just awesome looking almost all dark brown, never seen one that color before, came out and hunted field mice for about 10 minutes at about 40-60 yrds from me, wish I had my camera on me
second one came ouyt not long after the first one left from the oppisite side of the field, and was almost all Gray, great coat, he wandered about like he had nothing to do, was at one point sitting right under me staring at a tree rat across the food plot, like a cat he tried to get closer, but that tree rat was too smart for that
and that was it not a single deer
my first sit this yr to not have one deer show up
won't blame the coyotes either, seen both at once out in front of me too many times!
Oh well try again tomorrow!
10/16/12- Evening. Hunted a stand overlooking the intersection of two dozer trails. Had one 4pt come by at 6:05 and that was it. He was eating leaves and something else I couldn't see. Not acorns, maybe some kind of seed pod.
10/17/12- Evening. Hunted my crabapple stand. Warm but breezy. Nothing until 7:05 when a deer came to the crabapple and ate for awhile at 35 yards. By the time it passed by me at 18 yards at 7:15 it was too dark to tell what it was so no shot.
"...the deepest, most permanent features of all great moments outside are the names, faces, descriptions, and emotions. The antlers on the wall...well, they're just bones affixed to boards. But what they represent, however, is flesh and blood - fathers and sons, friends spending time with friends and the the seasons of life when the people we love were still with us. These old antlers on the wall...well, take a seat, my friend, and I'll tell you all about them." -Rev. Zeke Pipher

10/18/12 evening sit
super windy today 25+ mph winds and going from south east to south west back and forth tuff for any stand
headed to the tree at 4;30, was just 30 ft from the ladder when a spike buck walked out like 15 ft from me on the field edge, and busted me
he didn't snort or run, just walked back in not really sure what I was I think, but didn't like what ever he saw
first deer I seen at about 6 pm, were 6 doe at about 500 yrds came out of the field edge on a run and ran to about the middle of a 60 acre field, didn't want to be any where near the edges it seemed
then at 6;30 had the spiker come out or so I though on same trail he came out before, but then at 6;35 a second spiker exactly the same size and shape spikes came out, so?? not sure what one I seen earlier or even if it was one of these two?
and that was it
walked back to truck, some 600 yrds away, got to truck changed out of gear, started truck, turned on headlight and 80 yrds out in the field in front of me was one of my shooter bucks
he must have watched me get changed, didn't care I had the truck running or was turning it around to leave, didn't even really look at or towards me as I left
but good to see he is still alive!
try again tomorrow if its not raining!
