    I went all day Friday, saw 7 does. Went until 11:45 Sat saw 3 doe. Today I pushed a small patch of woods for my dad, I was sorta hoping to shoot a big doe in it's bed, but gave up on that when my dad came into sight. Bout that time a really nice buck stood up from laying in a buncha tops, yep right smack in between us so we both watched him and he watched us for a minute or two. Finally, he started walking off and cleared a knoll where I couldn't see him so I scooted my butt the opposite direction and waved to my dad to shoot him. 80 yards, rested, and he missed [:D]. I saw him shoot 75 yards off hand and group 4 inches with 3 shots prior to season. [:D] He was happy he got to see it and didn't mind the fact that he missed so I was happy to. Once things settle down I'll be heading back out with my bow some more.

    For the last few days I have been glassing deer around my new blind set up in a tree line cornered in four corn and bean fields. Started wandering if people were starting to think I was seeing things. We have seen deer out here before, but not constantly. So sunday Bang and I went out and watched and glassed and saw a total of 8 deer at the same time in the fields and close to my blind. One buck was a very big body and fairly good rack from a distance. Well I can go on and on. Yesterday I hunted there and about 3-3:30 saw a doe and that buck about 250-300 yards away coming out of the bedding ground and heading my way. That buck just towered over that doe. WEll watched them for a few minutes and they were heading my way.[8D] Well all of the sudden they spooked and ran right for me and then about faced to the bedding ground.[:(] They did this once again. Whwt was up they were far enough away there was no way they could see me, and the wind was going crossways so they couldn't smell either.[?] After that saw five more going to catch up with the others and never came to me.
    Seeing these deer is awsome. But talk about no luck. Seeing them so many days in bow range of my blind and not the afternoon I was there.
    One of these days they'll mess up and be in the wrong spot,(FOR THEM)[}:)]
    [:D]
    I am planning going out there thursday afternoon, wish me luck![:D]

    I understand what ur going through s.gun! Been out alot this hunting season, hunted hard...just when you think you have deer figured out they do the exact opposite. But hey, thats why they call it deer huntin', not deer killin right? Hopefully you can bag yourself a good size (no-neck) deer come muzzleloader. Well good luck! [:)]
