Hunted Sat morning and evening. Saw 2 does with young fawns in the am. Hunted a different stand in the pm and saw a shooter buck at about 30ft and a doe later. Got busted trying to move around to get in position. A friend hunted my stand in a field and shot a nice doe at about 185yrd. With the dead deer on the ground, 7 more came out to the feeder before dark.

Saw the most turkeys this year that I've seen in years.

Going to hunt Monday and Wed pm.

Got in the stand in the afternoon. set there for 3 hours and nothing. Just as the sun started setting I saw heads popping up out of the beans. They had been bedding up in the bean field. The beans are really high. You can only see their heads. Finally got a shot on one of the does. She did a back flip and ran into the woods. The rest started moving slowly to the woods. The a cow horn jumps up and starts jumping through the beans. I shot 3 times but missed him. He never stopped jumping. Then I use my grunt call and the last doe stopped and i dropped her like a bad habit. the first one was about 45 yards in the woods. Ended up with 2 huge does. One was 192 lbs and the other was 187. Gonna make some good deer stews.
