Dedicating this season to getting my daughter a buck before I pull a trigger. At first light, some hogs came and she made a low shot on a sow that ran, but we got to listen to some squealing for a bit.

Had a buck come out 15 min later I've never seen before. Not sure what he'd score, but I'd have shot him without thinking about it if hunting by myself. Unfortunately, by the time she found him in the scope he stopped presenting a shot then disappeared slowly into the woods. Hoping he'll make another appearance. He might be the largest buck taken off our place, if ever taken.

Had a very pretty 8 come within 20 yards of us,but he's young and likely not legal. She wanted him but got to learn a lesson about letting them walk.

Saw a few does while typing this. Hope someone is following them. None of the deer have checked the feeder and not seeing any rut signs yet, though I'd think they have to be close.

Sounds like there is plenty of movement to keep y'all occupied. How long will sit for?

Not sure how long we'll sit. Probably 10:30ish. Though, well stay all day if they keep moving (or until momma starts calling telling us it's a school night!).

That young buck worked a scrape about 100 yards from us (opposite where the big deer was). Hoping someone comes by to check it out.

Kenny, they have been chasing for the last week + pretty good, but seem to move through fast when they don't find a hot doe.

Good luck, every minute in the stand is a new hunt right now

I bet you’re on Mike’s place, if so we’re neighbors. There were young bucks chasing does on our place Friday, so I’d say it’s about that time.
