Saw 3 young bucks, 1 doe, and a flock of turkeys this morning. Got rained out by 9. Got around and went to town to pay a couple of bills and run by our “Home 10” to check on it. As I was pulling down into the property I saw 6 does and a young buck laying on the lawn. They skedaddled out of there and I made my way back home. Wind from the south - no good...didn’t go 40 yards and jumped a young forkie. Let’s try another way...uh oh 2 does stating at me after only 100 yards and they spook. Another 100 yards I see a young 8 point at the feeder down in the woods. I can sneak past...get 30 yards past him and several deer due north start snorting and bouncing around so the young 8 leaves. Deer still running ahead of me and I wait for the inevitable shot once they reach the fence...good, no shot...ease on to the stand I was thinking of sitting and see the turkeys a little ways off scratching around. Tie rifle to pull cord and deer starts blowing directly downwind....dang it. Hate being here today because I am just educating all the deer. Now I am within 75 yards of the N fence hoping to see a buck that either comes in from the east or west to our old North Plot I have not done a thing with in 2 years and is still loaded with clover...wait and see...
