11/06/12- PM. Hunted a flat between a bedding area and large mature oaks. Jumped deer going in at 3:00 on the flat. Didn't see anything else. Very calm and extremely quiet evening. Difficult to get on stand right now in the evenings with these calm winds and dry leaves. Mornings much better for getting to stand.

11/6/12 morning hunt, cold light breeze, 23 degrees at thet truck going in, only sat till 9 am , to help a friend try to find a deer he shot the evening before,
only saw one lone doe, and one rufed grouse
evening hunt,
getting a little better, on stand at 2 pm, seen first deer at 3 pm, two small bucks on the prowel, a spike and a 12 inch wide 8 pointer, they then hit my food plot, for a few minutes, earliest deer in a plot in weeks
and then they caught a scent of something and took off like they were late for a hot date
few minutes later, I had very good buck running a doe 65-70 yrds behind me being followed by two other smaller bucks in the chase.

then I had two more nice 100 inch class 8 pointers out walking the big field at last light just cruising
didn't see any doe or fawns in any of my food plots at all
try again tomorrow

[In The Stand2012]

Hunting a stand that I haven't been too in some time 15 days. Dragged a line in from the rear of the stand and saw a bunch of fresh scrapes and 2 big rubs on a couple trees. Tonights looking looking like a great night! Good luck to you all!

11/07/12- AM. Hunted my ditchline stand. Saw 5 small bucks and two other deer (does?) eating honeysuckle. One of the bucks was a decent 115" 8pt with decent mass and main beams but no tine length. I grunted him in from about 60 yds away. He came by later wanting me to kill him again.

11/07/12- PM. Hunted in the corner oak stand where I saw the nice buck a couple days ago. Saw 2 does, 3 small bucks, and jumped 4 other deer (does?). The largest buck (8pt) was walking around grunting and smelling where a doe had bed. The does on my property are bedding in the oaks and hardly leaving them at all so it makes it impossible to get in without spooking them.
