Hunted Friday thru Monday sun up till sun down. Saw deer daily
But most movement was in the evening. I found 17 deer 8 bucks pocketed up in some steep and nasty near secluded water on saturday. Dove in at 1 am git set up and shut my eyes for a few woke up at 545 and started glassing. Immediately saw 3 bucks and a doe coming up the trail I set up on. Bucks were bumping heads and doing the pecking order thing. At 730 ish they turned the corner of the saddle I was on at 200 yds. Made their way to 100 or so and just stood there for 30 minutes then the big 75+ fork started closing the gap. Hit the hill just above some rocks I'd previously ranged at 57 yds . I tried to re range him but my nikon wasn't giving feedback. I had to guesstimate so I held for 65 and let one fly. Low as s#^t. Buck just looked around and ran 10 or so more yards. Drew another held for 75 and touched another off. 1 inch under him. Deer blow out. Oh well at least arrows are flying and my legs are dying. Getting close.
