I was settled in late today from school. This is my second to last day in the stand here in MN before I head to Wisconsin to hunt. I kicked up a deer that was bedded by my stand when I walked in at 4:15. I went to the field edge tonight in my new climber stand. When I got into my stand I heard a bunch of rustling behind me. It was the coyotes chasing something again. I was not happy to see them. At about 6:15 I heard something coming up the hill behind me and I could tell it was a deer but I could not see it. He turned to his right, my left and continued up the hill to the other side of the point where the camera was. It was about 6:30 when I couldn't hear him anymore. I figured he was now in the field. When I got down to check the camera I found the Dagger buck on camera 9 minutes before I checked the camera! So close, yet so far. Hopefully tomorrow night one of them come out and present a shot as it is my last hunt before I leave and the last hunt before the guns come out and the deer hide tight.
Totals: Taylor: 0 deer: 2 coyotes
We got a picture of a buck with a messed up rack. I am calling him Goofy. He seems to have a big body. We also had a picture of No Brow. I think No Brow and Dagger live close as they have become regulars on the camera lately.
