So i go out Saturday morning, perched in quad-pod a full 1.5 hours before sunrise, 1 hour before shooting light. About 10 minutes later i hear tromping through the woods, then snap, crackle, pop of corn being eaten in the darkness below. As time marches on, more and more snap, crackle, pop. I begin to see shadows moving in the dark. At one time, maybe a dozen shadows moving around. A couple of the shadows are noticeably larger than the others. Time is slowing down by the minute, and the sun seems to go back down. Finally it begins to get light enough to see. Yes, just as the deer disappear up the hill. Headed to the feed pen above. I checked the camera card in that feeder pen later in the day. You guessed it. Good times. Maybe next time.
Notice the bucks scrapping in the background in the top pic.

Slow slow slow on the deer movement. I got skunked everytime out, which is a record for us. I got blown at which is very rare. To make it worse, I was down wind of them when they blew at me. I think it was one of those mornings where it was to still. None the less it was fun being out in the brush. Got some chores done that we've put off till cooler weather and the last minute of course. The wheat is up 4-6 inches and looks good. No army worms yet knock on wood.

I’ll go first
Saturday morning everything came together. I’ve been watching this buck for 4 seasons. Last year he was a main frame 9 and on our no shoot list. 7:50am, 15yd shot, 50-60 yard trail job. When I was walking up to him, my heart jumped when I saw movement. I could see his belly and sitting there between his legs was a bobcat licking blood off of him. I yelled in surprise and the cat hauled butt.
