DAY 1

Well before daylight I was dropped off at a tripod stand near a feeder. A deer walked past me and I could see antlers but couldn't see it good enough to tell much about it. After daylight an 8-point came down the trail I had walked in on. It went to the feeder area. Then 18 wild turkeys showed up and spread out. Suddenly the buck saw something in the woods and went to attention and bonked its antlers loudly on a metal bar on the feeder, Ka. Bam. That had to hurt.

The buck got nervous and left the feeder area. Nothing showed up and the buck returned and this time it walked around in the woods and browsed. Here are some excellent pictures from this hunt. GO...

Mike Glanden
Mike saw 19 different deer. Seven were bucks and 3 were very nice bucks, but Mike gave them another year to grow. Larry saw a big, wide buck before daylight and it went to the feeder. They moved away before light. Then an mature 8-pt and a 6-pt came in. Some does came in with several fawns. They filtered into the brush after 8:00.

Larry Reese
Larry's area was deer type busy. He saw 18 and passed on a heavy beamed 8 pointer. 

AFTERNOON:

Mike Glanden  came in with video from his hunt. He saw and a bunch of deer, too many to keep track of. An 8-point with good mass came into the area and grunted, snorted and ran off small bucks from 6:30 until dark. At 6:30 a bigger, heavier body and antlers (After seeing the video Garrett said he was 6 1/2). Five big longbeards walked up underneath Mike's tripod. Suddenly one looked up and putted. The gobblers backed up and went about their longbeard business. Mike drew on this buck twice and let down. "The buck was so comfortable, you could tell it was his home range, so I elected to wait a little while more." At 7:45 Mike saw the biggest buck yet, 70 yards away coming across an open area. The buck circled and slowly came closer. But darkness came faster.

Larry Reese  saw 8 does and as many bucks, but younger 7's and 8's.

Robert - I went to a new area and sat up a Double Bull Martix 360 and cut small branches out of the way for shooting lanes. I got inside the blind and as I arranged my stuff two does walked out of the creek behind me and stopped 10 yards from me. Two more appeared at the edge of the woods. They kept traveling. I spotted a wide racked buck 100 yards away in one of the few narrow openings where I could see that far. I put my binoculars on the opening but he moved behind some brush and I didn't see it again. Quite a bit later a 5th doe walked through.

John McBride went to ta different stand and saw 7 bucks "3 shooters" and 5 does. One was a unique 12 point that had a point that made a ring around the main beam. 

Wyatt McBride saw 15 deer and wanted to shoot a large 10-point but could not get a shot off.
