Thursday, September 20, 2007, Temp 74 degrees, Wind S/SE 30 mph, overcast, Sunset: 7:14 pm (hunting close 7:44 pm)

Bubba and I went to our stands about 5:30 pm. Skies were overcast and threatening rain. I was in the ladder stand and Bubba went to right field. At about 6:55 pm a small doe came through from the west (corn) heading east about 25 yards to the south of me. She hooked up with the same small 8 pointer and they turned around and came back to the west. She kept going to the west and into the corn and he circled towards me. I had an opportunity to take some more video, but I think all of you are kind of getting tired seeing him. He did go to the same tree (10 yards away) that the 4 pointer and 6 pointer were rubbing on a couple of nights ago. Pretty cool stuff.
At 7:00, Bubba did see a decent deer in the field about 150 yards to the south and east, but could not tell what it was. It bedded down and stayed for a while before it moved on. The wind really picked up and it started to rain, so we both got down from our stand at about 7:40 pm. Not a great evening, but at least some quality time in the stand. Totals: 2 deer, 1 Buck, 1 doe
