I had two bucks fighting about 6:45 but it was close to shooting time when I finally saw them. Couldn't really tell at that light if they were shooters or not. Then ended up sparing several different times. Oddly enough they ended up getting spooked off by a doe.
10/13/12 evening hunt
being a saturday, I decided to sit again at a parking area where i know guys park to sneak in
and at 4:30, I had the same dam guy from last week pull in, he seen me parked there and took off
so guess he didn't get the hnt last week when I told him he was trespassing
got on stand at 5;15 pm, 42 degree's and good 10+mph winds,
seen the first doe at 5;30, a small one came out all the way across the big field a good 500 yrs away, feed for 10 minutes then went back where it came out in the tree's
next , at 6;20 2 doe came out right behind me and stood in the food plot eating from 5 yrds to 25 yrads till dark,
at about 6;50 had many deer filter out into the big field, counted 19 in all, too dark and too far away to tell what they were
was opening day of a week long muzzleloader doe season here lots of shooting off in the distance
so from here on out, my deer get very nocturnal any more
was almost zero wind at dark and was just 38 degree's
no hunting here on Sundays so be back out on Monday
Went out Saturday morning and sat over a partially cut bean field. It was about 37 in the morning. Around 8:15 I had two yotes come out and I was able call them in to about 45 yards. I took a shot at one, but shot under him. I doubt I will see them in that field again. At 8:30 I gave a set of grunts and about 15 minutes later I heard a couple deer come up from behing me, downwind, a circle around through the woods. They popped out in the field about 60-70 yards to my left, looking in my direction. As it turned out it was two nice bucks, both shooters. I tried to grunt them my way, but they didn't have any of that. I then did a snort wheeze which really got their attention. I think since they didn't see another buck they weren't agressive enough to just come in on the sort wheeze. They eventually went off in the other direction around the corner of the field.
So a couple of things I took from this 1) these two bucks hadn't split up yet 2) they were moving in shoot hours, around 8:45 in the morning and 3) these were the two biggest bucks I've seen this year including what I have on camera.
So I have set a stand on that side of the field and will try to hunt it next week or weekend.
Pretty good morning...
