Thursday , November 7, 2024 am Sunrise 6:47 am Hunting opens at 6:17 am. Temperature 42 degrees. Sunset 4:47 pm. Hunting closes at 5:17 pm. Wind: N-NW 3-5 mph. Mostly sunny. This morning I decided to give the Money Stand behind the barns another shot. I brought Fuzzy and set him up about 20 yards to the west of me we will see if he can draw some interest. At 6:44 am, a small nubbin buck came down the valley from the west. He got to within 10 yards of Fuzzy. He was curious, but never spooked. He hung around for a few minutes and slowly fed off to the south of me. At 7:40 am, I looked behind me to the SE and I had a nice buck on the road heading to the north of me. I grunted to him as he stopped and saw Fuzzy. He then turned and trotted up to the east. I took a 2 hour break to get some work done from 11:00-1:00, and then headed back out to the Money Stand. Wind were swirling until about 4:15 pm and then the died down. At 4:50 pm, I had 2 does and a small buck came in from the east. The 2 does ended up coming up by me and hung around for 30 minutes. The buck stayed on the other side of the valley and headed back to the east. That was it. Totals: 5 deer. 2 bucks and 3 does.
