Was out with bow in October and had a very surprising amount of deer around the stand ... walking in the first afternoon I saw a doe head first in the corn and complete front legs and body sticking out ... decided not to shoot as I hadn't even got to the stand .. I snapped a twig and she looked my way and the staring contest started she could not figure out what was there a couple of foot stomps and she went the other way . Seeing a bounty of deer I decides to just look and not shoot as on the cams showed 12 pointer 10 pointer and some big 8 pointers ... 25thand 26th of October I was out and in the stand before daytime and the action started just before sun up ... the 12 pointer came by to the Rast on the hill to the upper field absolutely no wind to get busted then a doe went to the east the a 8 pointer came in from the east just below the 12 pointer and all just hung out and 3 more does came in and looked like a reunion happening 5o yards out to far for an ethical shot . The next morning fog set in and that didn't stop the action 3 does went to the west again then the crash bang boom and down the embankment came thee bucks ... 2 ...4 pointers and a 6 pointer and stopped just adjacent to my stand ... like theyjust got in from the club looking for ladies ... grunting shaking and scratching dehind there ears ...I have never seen this before .....the fog lifted and to my west a large 8 pointer came right under my stand ... I had a funeral at 2 pm ... shooting this buck wasn't in the cards as I had to be at this funeral ... gutting getting it out of the thickets and over the corn field... sigh ....had to pass ... shotgun came and for the next 3 days ghosted..nothing ... went out on the bluebird evening... and here we go again two came out40 yards to my right he was riding here hard .. so I am not going to pull the trigger when there are in there moment .. watched and the tuned and now a doe is on my left side and she must have seen me turn back she went to the creek bed in front and the went up the hill in the thick cover .. splash splash I herd in the creek ... that 8 pointer ....just as he was going to follow her ......MAAAA...MAAAAA ... BOOM ... FILLED MY TAG ...now the work starts ...
