I hunted the property today both in the morning and in the afternoon. For some reason I did not consider the wind direction and it ended up blowing right to where most of the deer show up. I saw a young doe slip out of the thick pine stand that borders the new chop the stand is on. She was in range but I was not interested in shooting her. She angled away from me and before she got out of sight smelled me and departed blowing.
In the PM I walked in on a deer at the stand at 7:00 (I was pretty late) and within a few minutes the wind changed out of the south and another deer in the pine plantation smelled me and started to blow also. At that point I decided the best thing to do was get out of there and wait for the wind to straighten out.
The only photo's on the trail cam were a few turkey hens.
