buck chasing does this evening

[wabi]

Was in my ladder stand this evening when 2 does came out of the woods into the field next to the food plot (where I also have a feeder). About 40 yards away, but they headed into the thick weeds in the field instead of coming to the feeder?
A couple minutes later a decent 6 point comes in following their trail. Soon he got too close and one broke for the woods with him right behind her. She came back to the field after a few minutes and headed into the thick weeds again. He came back, circled around her and soon the chase (into the woods) was on again.

Never even came close to getting a shot, but it still made my evening in the stand seem like a success!

On the way out after it was dark I had my Fenix HL55 headlamp on and was moving very slowly because of my hip (starting to hurt). Spotted something shining on the ground that didn't look normal. On closer examination I found it was a 107 year old (1907) "barber" dime. Guess the walk out was a success, too.

Sometimes the hunt is just as good without killing. I shot 3 deer opening day in 70 degree weather....with my video cam on my phone

it will be late December at the earliest before there's any chasin' going on down here in God's Country. still seeing dog sized fawns with spots which means mom was bred in Feb-March.

Great luck in the stand and even better luck on the way out~!

Sounds like a successful hunt in my books... the dime is a great find too!

Seems like we're seeing some rut action earlier this year.

Congrats on the hunt and on the silver!
Must be for luck... A seven point on the nineteenth or a nineteen point at seven o'clock or something.
