Sunday, October 8, 2017. Sunset: 6:39 pm. Hunting Closes: 7:09 pm. Temperature 71 degrees. Mostly sunny. Wind: S-SE 3-5 mph. We got back from a road trip to Lincoln, NE for the Badger football game. Heidi was kind of spent so she let me hunt tonight. It was great to get out in the woods. I decided to give the Apple Tree a try. I was all set up by 4:45 pm. At 5:30 pm, there was a couple of does over in the Boarder Patrol Food plot. They took off to the North. At 5:45. pm, I had a small 5 pointer come in from over by the BP. He walked though and hung out about 30 yards from the Stump Blind. He eventually worked his way to the AT at the bottom of the hill and then came up the hill towards me. He ate a few apples and then cam under the walnut tree and ate for 20 minutes. I could have jumped on his back several times. He ended up walking up the trail to the west. At 6:00, I saw three does about 100 yards to the SE of me along the edge of the corn and bean field. They fed to the north, but never got closer then 70 yards. At 6:30 pm, I saw a coyote come in from the east, but he never got closer then 60 yards. There eyesight is incredible. At 6:45 pm, there was a small 8 pointer and a doe in the BP food plot. They hung out there until dark and walked off to the south. Totals: 8 deer, 6 does and 2 small bucks.

Mick and Steve came down as well. I tried to convince Steve to go out this morning, but he decided to sleep in. I went to double D up the valley to the south and then up yo the west. I bumped a bunch of deer on my way into the stand, but was all set up by 6:15 am. At 7:50 am, I heard something to the NE of me. I looked over and saw 3 does come over the ridge. They sensed something was not right and they ended up blowing a warning call and walked off to the west up the hill. They never got closer then 35 yards away. One was a huge doe but she never came close enough. At 8:00 am, I had a 2 does come from the south west behind me about 25 yards away. They stayed below me for about 15 minutes. They sensed something was not right and never offered me a shot. They ended up walking off towards the east. I ended up sitting until 8:45 am. That was it. Totals: 5 deer. 5 does.

This hunt might get cut short because of a rain storm. I decided to go to the ladder east of the Muddy foot plot. Adam went to Pisa. We were both in by 4:40 pm. I did work up quite a lather on my way in. At 5:55 pm, I looked to the west and there was a big doe with 2 fawns feeding under the Apple Tree stand. I sure wish Heidi would have gone out. At 6:55, I looked over to the west and there was a beautiful 115-120" 2 1/2 year old 8 pointer directly under the AT stand. 10 yards broadside. I wish Heidi was out. At 7:03 pm, I looked over and there was another 8 pointer in the same spot. This guy was a little bit smaller. Totals: Bob - 5 deer, 2 bucks and 3 does/fawns.
