I hunted the edge of the swamp today in the rain!
I got to the swamp stand at 2:30pm in a light rain. I was 16’ up looking at a runway coming out of the swamp and I had a field in back of my stand. I wasn’t expecting anything on the field but at 3:30 pm I looked at the field and saw him coming right at my stand. He walks in at 7 yds and looks up at me in the stand for 5 minutes. My bow is on my shoulder waiting for him to take 1 more step. I start getting Shakey and then he jumps and stops at the edge of the field, he then looks at me and starts to walk parallel to the stand, I pick an opening and at 20 yds I shoot my lighted nock executioner and hit him in the front part of the deer. He bolts away and at 80 yds I see him like jump up and disappear. My nock never lighted and I never found my arrow. I wait 45 minutes and have good blood right away from the trauma 3 blade 2” cut head. I find the deer where I saw him jump. I had a fun hunt in the light rain. At 3:50 I have 5 doe coming at me in the field but they took a left just before my opening.
It has a nice body and a big noggin! Heart shot.

Nice buck!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
