Saturday, December 21, 2013 pm. Sunset: 4:34 pm. Hunting closes: 5:04 pm. Temperature: 19 degrees. Wind: N-NW 5-10 mph.  Mostly cloudy. I decided tonight to give the stump blind a try. I was up and in at 3:15 pm. Nothing was happening until 10 minutes before closing when I looked to the north east and saw 4 deer with one being a small 3 pointer. They mostly stayed out of range, but the buck did come to 15 yards but was too small, illegal to shoot, and I didn't have the window open that he was in front of. Still fun to see. At 5:00 pm, two does came in from the NW. The biggest doe got to about 10 yards away, but again I didn't have the right window open and she was quartering towards me anyways. Right as I was packing up, another doe came in from the NW. It was too far and after legal shooting light anyways. Totals: Bob- 7 deer. 1 small buck.
