After seeing all the bucks on the trail cam yesterday i had to go sit that stand this afternoon.
Pulled the cam card.....just could not wait. Had 75 pics in one night/day.
6 minutes after getting set in the stand i spotted movement it the NW. It turned out to be a small doe. She stood off from the feed site about 50 yds from 8-10 minute before starting to edge closer ever so slowly. I think she may have just caught a slight whiff of me. She started making a slow loop down wind. when that did not work she started back the other direction and made 4 passes in a big arc scent checking the area. Finally, I heard her blow softly about three times and start to move off where she came from.
That was pretty much it for the sit.
Walking out I bumped a deer on a mow but it was to dark to identify it.
When i got home and checked the card the 75 spike had been back in the daylight that morning and another new buck showed up that I did not recognise.....a 5point it appeared. Buck #8! Here's some pictures:
