I saw 4 this morning, over 100 yds away. It was a doe and 3 yearlings. One of the other coaches told me at the football game today he had bucks chasing does this morning. None of that action where I hunt.

This evening I set my camera up in a new spot before I got into the stand and I saw 2 coming towards me. They were 2 little ones. They were the only 2 I saw all evening.
This week it looks mostly like evening hunts. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. I might be able to slip in a Tuesday morning and possibly Thursday morning hunts. I will keep you posted.
So I had to go out and move my stand behind the house today. Moved it around the tree last week, due to between about 8:15 to 9 there's 1 spot in the woods that the sunrise hits like a spotlight...and wouldn't you know it that is where my stand was. Well didn't help much moving it last week so I went in today and moved to another tree about 15-20 yards away. I'm thinking it looks and feels like a better set up but we'll see, only bad thing is I'm a lot closer to another stand than i want to be. Don't know if I'll get in the stand before I go to work any day this week but I might try.
Funny story of the night...the wife sat last night night in the blind set up by the feeder/food plots and saw a deer right at dark. So of course she wants to sit again tonight, which is cool with me. Well here's 7:30 and she's not in yet, 7:45 pretty much dark as sh*t outside and still nothing, now 8:00 rolls around and nothing, phone starts ringing and its her. Now I'm thinking to myself there's ko way she shot a deer cuz its been pitch black out for a bit now, answer the phone and here's what I got, "I need you to come out here and save me! There's coyotes right behind me and they won't go away! I've made noises and everything and they won't leave and I forgot a flashlight!" Me- "What? Are you serious?" Her- "Yes, come get me out of here!" So I grab a light and go out there, "Did you hear them howling?" Her- "No but I heard them walking" Me- "So you didn't hear them howling but you heard them walking so you know it was coyotes?" Her- "Well yeah, what else could it be!"... I just thought it was funny lol!

That is pretty hilarious.
In the stand for a few hours now. I saw a buck crossing the road on the way in, didn't get a good look at the headgear though. He was running up a hill, so not sure if he was chasing something or running because he crossed the road.

Busted one on my way into the stand this morning. Didn't see anything else. Heading back out this evening.

Just got settled in a lil bit ago. Decoys out and I'll try some rattling in a bit after everything calms down. Windier and warmer than I'd like but not gonna kill one at the house.

I checked another stand location when I came down this afternoon, had a row of 7 scrapes in about 50 yards on the same trail. They always use that trail for scrapes, but not sure if I've seen that many before. I pulled the card and have some pics of another small buck, but no other shooters to this point. It won't be long now. Next time out is likely Saturday morning. The boys football team made the playoffs, so we got practices this week, and a game Saturday afternoon...and beggar's night after that.
