I was ready to go by 6:55 am. Dwayne decided to hunt today, so he is over in the VAT ladder stand. We will see. At 8:25 am, I had a doe and fawn come in from the SE. they walked past me to the east at 10 yards. At the same time, I could hear a soft buck grunt to the N.E. of neon the hillside. Nothing came out though. The doe and fawn circled to the north of me and headed back to the N.E. At 8:40 am, I saw a deer moving through the brush to the SE of me. I think it was a buck but I could t tell. At 8:55 am, I saw 2 does going from north to south 50 yards to the east of me in the woods. It was probably the same doe and fawn that I saw earlier. At 9:10 am, I had a deer blow 50 yards to the north of me and head back up to the N.E. I think the thermals betrayed me. At 10:05 am, I looked to the north of me and there was a doe walking south towards me. There was another doe with her a was being followed by a fork and a bigger buck. The does got to within 10 yards to the west of me and then they circled up to the north and east. At 12:00 pm, I looked back to my right to the south and saw a small 6 pointer going from east to west. I grunted a few times to him and he walked right through my shooting lane at 10 yards. He hung around for a while and the headed off to the southwest towards the Apple Tree stand. At 5:30 pm, I had a small 8 pointer come down the hill from the east. Ended up going north on the trail. At 6:10 pm, 2 small bucks came out to feed in Arlie’s food plot. Totals: 13 deer. 7 does and fawns and 6 bucks.
