Had a great sat yesterday morning. The rain had passed by the night before leaving the leaves soft enough for me to sneak into a sweet lil' spot a buddy put me on. My hopes where to get 1 more doe for the freezer. Long story short, instead i saw 5 different bucks all out cruising. Each one of em came by at seperate times from different directions all working the ground like hounds trying to pick up a late doe. Later, when i did see a doe it was being harrassed by 2 spikes that didnt even look old nuff to breed. Close to lunch when I was getting ready to climb down a doe with 2 yearlings came scurrying by in a hurry, acting nervous. Soon as they where gone a yote came thru. It was great to see so many deer this late in the season and 1 of the bucks will be a sure nuff gooden next year if he can just make it another week or so. If ye never sat in a stand with just a stickbow, your missing out. After 30 years of deer hunting, i am learning more and more bout deer. Yea i didnt draw blood but it was one of my favorite sits of all times. Traditional archery may not be for everyone, but at this point in life I'm sure nuff enjoying it!
