Great visiting with yall yesterday. Ambush(Brad) killed the deer. he is still in camp and has zero service. He said he will post up the pics and story tomorrow. It will be worth the wait . True swamp donkey.

Nice job Brad I can't wait for the pics. Usually by now I have been in that area quite a bit hunting but i haven't even made it to the woods this year.

Well this evening I had a young 8 pt sit with me till well after dark. I even shine the light trying to get him to leave. I hollered at me. Made all sorts of racket. And then decided to just climb down. Well I climbed all the way down the tree and started heading out before he ever left. Lol he was at 30 yards during all of this. Not sure if yall will be able to see the picture but this is after dark

Was dead for me this weekend. Logged 17 hours, no sightings. It can't be said enough... finding the right oaks that are dropping is crucial. In previous seasons, I've hunted early bow, and acorns aren't as important. Couldn't make time to properly scout for a late October hunt, and it showed. Still may have zero'd, but at least I would have had more confidence based upon sign and food sources. Oh well, lessons learned.

That's pretty bizarre right there.

IMO, I believe it mattered that he was immature, but I also believe that even though deer see better than we do at night, it's still not all that great.

Thanks for sharing. Good job on the close encounter.

This morning I had a coyote at 35 yards watch me climb the tree. Never spooked just sat and watched. So I decided when it got daylight I would let one fly if he was still there. But he was gone come daylight. Just baffled me because of how skittish they are anyways. Plus my encounter the evening before. Oh and I saw a little bigger 8pt this morning. Still too small though
