Friday September 26, 2025 pm Sunset 7:01 pm Hunting closes at 7:31 pm Temperature 78 degrees. Mostly sunny. Wind: N- NW 2-4 mph. I am back behind the barns at Copper for an evening sit. On my way in there were 2 does on the road to the north about 125 yards away. They watched me climb into the stand and they eventually took off to the north. At 5:30 pm, I had a nice big fat doe 50 yards to my SW. she smelled me, snorted and took off to the south. At 6:20 pm, I had a small 3 point buck came behind me from the NW. He came through at 15 yards, turned south and walked into the food plot. At 6:23 pm, a big doe came through, stopped and fed for 40 minutes about 25 yards to the north of me. She finally came into the food plot. I could have shot her at 12 yards. At 7:05, a nice tall, narrow 8 pointer came on the same trail. He was tempting, but I decided to pass. They both ended up spooking up to the east of me. I did have Brian drive in after dark to make sure there were not any more deer around, so I could sneak out. Totals: 4 deer, 2 bucks and 2 does.
