    Hunting this morning

    I've all but given up on my big buck I call Droopy. I have not seen him since November 5 and most of the other big bucks were last seen about 5 days ago. But doe season is still available and ends on Sunday. I need a break from the everyday stresses so I thought it would be fun to come hunt.

    It is already a great morning and it isn't even daylight.

    I walk through a 20 acre hay pasture to get to my blind. I crossed at a gate leading into a much smaller pasture and stood under an oak tree for a minute. Then I turned on my white light to scan the field. Less then 10 yards downwind was a big doe. I turned off my light. I heard her calmy walk towards me, turn into the brush to my right then cross the fence and went to the big pasture. She was calm the whole time. I kept waiting for the snort and blow out but it never came. I tried to sound like her as I crossed the mall pasture - short quick steps. Heck I fooled myself!

    All is quite. Waiting on daylight.

      Good luck. Sometimes deer go crazy for no reason and sometimes they act like that. Hope that continues for you

              Can't explain it but some times it seems some deer need to see the threat before they get all jumpy. This seems to be more prevalent at night. Not sure if they feel safer due to the cover of darkness. I have noticed a similar response with mouflon that if they can smell you they will get in alert mode but will not run off unless they spot you.

              In for the dead deer pics!

                      In the stand with my 6 yr old. Just had 2 dow with fawns show up. He got excited and made a little noise so they slowly walked into the brush again. Feeder throws at 715. They'll be back. Hoping they pull that 10 point that I've seen on camera out!

                          Good luck to all of y'all!

                          And normally those does blow out and scold me hard for disrupting their morning. A small 6 point just came in and he was on pins and needles. He vacated pretty quick staring at my blind the whole time.
