I had a good day, lot of wind but deer were moving this afternoon. Saw nothing in the more, saw several in the afternoon...only one buck, a spike, and filled my 2 EAB tags, one at 5:45 the other at 6:30. Glad to have some more deer meat after doing without a few months! |

I had a nice morning too. I saw a pair of mature does and a doe with a set of triplets. I had good shot opportunities at all 6 deer at some point, but held off waiting for a good buck in the area. Did see the buck I was looking for, but only a few glimpses at 70 yards or so. Not sure why he didn't follow the same path that the does did. Looking back I wish I had taken one of the does, but hopefully I'll have another opportunity. My dad killed a mature doe and had a tall tined 8 pointer chasing a doe around his stand, but never paused long enough for a shot. I think the cool temps got the deer fired up. I wish I was hunting all week instead of working. Only 40 years until retirement  I went to the VT game so I missed the evening sit. Should have gone hunting.

Wet Day up Here in NOVA seen 1 doe at 80 yards moving like something spooked her in the morning. Down pour until 3:30 went out to reset some trail cams and walked up on a young 8 pointer lying in his bed at 17 yards. It gave me a good chance to practice drawing on a bedded deer and then trying to sneak up on him and still raining up here. |

No deer at all for me Sat. AM, lots of acorns and turkey sign around my stand and had a real nice gobbler come in twice on me but never closer than 45-50 yards. He was by himself and the wind had him nervous as you know what, he looked like he had a nice 9-10" beard. If he'd of come 20 more yards I would have tried a shot, never killed one with my bow. Gonna try to get out again tomorrow AM. |

Wet, windy, and cold morning in Northern Virginia. Didn't see much at all except for the two bucks that walked by my stand at about 0745. Despite the wind, I managed to get an arrow into the lead buck, a decent little 8 point. Far from the biggest deer I have ever killed, but it was my first buck with the bow and the first buck I have killed in four or five years. It looks like we should have some "normal" Fall weather the next few days, so I plan to be in the stand every evening! |
