Shhhhh, be vewy vewy, quiet. It's 8:35 ish and I'm sitting here watching a nice wide racked antlered deer walking across the corn field. Too far out to get a good count on the points but the rack is well past the ears and rather high also.

Taking his time but every step moves him toward the highrise ground blind. I'm confident he won't see or wind me so I'm sure if he keeps moving in the same direction he will present a shot.

Geez, this is exciting and my heart rate is picking up along with my breathing. First buck I've seen with legal antlers in 11 years and he's moving toward my ground blind.

Can't remember feeling this excited but I gotta remember to pace myself and move with stealth.

I'd liked to get some pics as he approaches but I dunno heart beginning to thump... man what a rush.

Dam, if I'd just left the house earlier this morning, I know I'd beat him to the groundblind. Gotta git... my bow and go.

Saw nothing til 9:30, then received a text from a friend that he had shot a decent 8-point and requesting assistance in getting it out (he is 70), so off I go.

He tells me that he saw one doe, which was squatting and five bucks, two of which were legal. On the way in to get his deer, we see a nonlegal buck that could not have cared less that we were walking toward it.

Hopefully this is a sign that they will start moving during the daylight. I can hunt this afternoon and Saturday.

The buck I watched this morning was feeding and didn't seem to be any hurry to leave the corn field.

Bean and cornfields being picked until 10:00 last night so I'm thinking he may have been pushed off his turf.

I dunno, maybe a short rut this season but I saw nothing about that buck saying it's on.

Left the house this am ran to the store to get chew, heading to my hunting grounds I noticed deer everywhere so I drove around the block waiting on blue light as to not blow deer out the field get up 630ish 645 idk strap in to the tree in bundgee my horns pull bow up sit down about what seemed like 2min go buy I hear a deer walking in o it's a buck damit it's the big 5pt gets under my tree I see the extra point, he walks past I draw maaa branch so I stand as high as I could shot didn't sound good my pin was at 25 he was about 12 yards I'm like what an idiot after 5min I get down look arrow is clean hair little speck of meat I climb up think about it seen 3 other bucks within the next hr go look for blood I figured I grazed him but if I hit low enough i figured I clip a lung, find a speck I'm like **** I did hit him then I found bubbles then I got to the ditch and there was a nice pile of lung blood I called my buddy Jr said I hit him good lung blood go get the wagon 70yards later there he in 8pt not huge but he is my buck for the year great week 6 buck lol I'm ecstatic now my rutcation turned into migrationation time to find some birds

Took a short vacation last friday thru monday. Sat for a total of 28 hours and until the last day saw 1 deer. A small 6 point. Monday i saw a big 9 point or better. And 2 small bucks all cruising. Ive been working the 3 to 3 shift since and havnt made it out. Last night i saw 3 different bucks otw home each being a wall hanger keeping in close contact with doe. One was by raitis salvage yard and if his neck was any more swollen it would probably split!

Got a text this morning from a friend that needed help getting a buck out. I left the treehouse and helped him.

Of course, we see a buck walking in to get his.

And when I get back, the scrape 10 yards from the treehouse has been refreshed.

Haven’t heard a shot all afternoon either.

Congrats thunderpole! Enjoy that tenderloin dinner. Good luck with the birds

Thunder, congratulations on your buck... now get back to work. lol 🍻🍻🍻

Dardy, congrats to your buddy too. Nice of you to help your friend. Maybe your good deed will be returned in the form of a good buck.
