went on a evening hunt here for about 2 1/2 hours after i got home from school. climbed in a stand overlooking the edge of a swamp, soon as i got up there was three does 25 yards from me, i set down annd a spike walked by at 12 yards, then on the other side of the swamp a couple does where getting chased but i couldnt tell the size of the bucks just saw flashes of antlers, about 20 minutes later a small eight pointer walks by about 8 yards and hangs around sniffin for does about 20 minutes, he leaves more does run trough a 4 point comes in trail, then on teh otehr side i hear some crashing and a what looks like a decent buck chasin a doe i hit the true talker but there was no way he was leavin his doe. about 20 minutes before dark another decent looking buck and a 6 point come out in the beanfield 200 yards away and walk towards the opposite woods, then right when i was gettin ready to lower my bow i see a deer coming at thirty yards i think its a doe until it gets pretty close and spots me and it turns out to be another 10-12 inch eight point. all in all a great evening, i had the video camera with me i wish i woulda taped it all.
dad went and set his stand up for tommorrow morning this evening and saw a beautiful eight point near his tree so he is hopin for a shot tommorrow and i just got news i dont have to work tommorrow so im gonna be back where i was this evening just farther up the swamp where we spotted a monster earlier in the year and have just not been pressuring him till we can get good time to hunt.
