I just saw a doe with twin fawns NE of my position about 100 yards. First deer I have seen since beginning of the week!
Live from the stand 2016!

I like the dark antlers on the last one, Congrats!Sitting atop the mountain of our deer lease near what I call "spike stand" because of spikes in the tree from long days past. Have not seen a deer while hunting since Monday... Super warm temps...
We have had 4 bucks killed on our lease so far. 8 point in picture with big 6 was chasing and big 6 was in a food plot. The food plot deer is a first ever for this lease!
This young 10 point was seeking...
And this nice 8 was killed at 6 pm last night when Eli's party started and it was chasing a doe...
Congrats to our lucky lease members on their success!

Great updates, thanks for sharing everyone. Hunting back around home in western PA the last two evenings. Still not hot enough action to start taking vacation days from work yet.
This little fork horn came by yesterday afternoon.
My view from the stand tonight in a creek bottom down the road from my house.
First hunt with Dad's old Army Airborne jacket. Good mojo for sure. Forgot my facemask but I have paint in my safety vest.

I envy you guys hunting right now. I'm stuck in an office working on a 300 slide presentation on the 2017 NESC. 
But watch out week after next. I'm going to be wearing out the stands. My trail cameras are showing a tremendous amount of chasing right now - even my two mature bucks are chasing. Abby Normal got after a hot doe and chased her through a wide open food plot an hour before dark on the 23rd, and he has "tested daylight" several times over the last few days at the same spot.
Good Luck everyone...........

Ended up seeing 2 does yesterday evening.
I am on my 7th consecutive morning hunt in a stand I haven't hunted in about 4 years. Had to cut limbs back from platform when I got in it this morning with a pocket knife.
Deep timber high on a mountain with a little edge. 7:14 am I heard a deer walking down the mountain and I could faintly make out a big body and I could tell there was substantial headgear and even through the scope I couldn't positively ID the deer or determine age so held off on shooting him...
I only have 1 buck tag left and whatever I choose to use it on will have to be a very worthy season ender since it hasn't even been good yet as far as the rut...
Scrapes are very active now and all cameras on this mountain have been moved off food and onto scrapes made or freshened by me with my own urine. Trail cams showing a huge increase in use over the last week!
Views...
Where buck traveled this morning just 1/4 left view from my position(perfect for right handed shooter).
I have no view straight ahead or behind due to brush but my views to the right are...

I checked them by hat light when I crawled up this morning. I had loosened it in the past so gave it a couple cranks. Stand has actually grown into the tree a little...
Just had the same small buck that came past my other stand yesterday morning walk by...
Not real excited about this forecast for last 3 days of muzzleloader season 2016
