October 12, 2000 - A Deer Hunt In Progress: AFTERNOON
Back To Deerhunt 2000 Home Page

From the Mound Stand I can see most of the activity around my food plot area. On the way to it today I noticed a fresh rub. These are soft bark trees and the bucks love to rub them up.

The first deer I saw was this spotted fawn. There is a large concrete water tank on the back side of my corals. The fawn was headed to it.

This fawn (that has lost its spots) was next.

Soon I caught sight of a big doe checking out the water area. My neighbor came down the road. His old farm truck rattled the cattle guard and chugged along. The deer started running away, there were five, the three you see here and two that I had not seen.

This is when you know are doing good with your stand placement. When the deer come up in front of you to check out the area ahead, instead of stopping behind you and checking things out, you have your stand in the right place. As you can see the Mound stand is definitely in the right place. This doe is in the trees ahead of me, looking the situation over.

Then this doe walked up under me and moved into a shooting lane.
And There Are Some More Here
