Well, deer season has been going pretty slow. We Have not saw a shooter buck yet, until today. I had wanted to get up early, but DAD 
thought we'd try going in a little later and setting longer into the day. Bad idea. Got up at 7:00 and headed to the woods around 7:45, we were walking across our hayfield when a nice dark horned 8 pointer busts out of the woods and down the field, followed by a doe. I turned to Dad, and if looks could kill he'd be a goner. Saw two more does from the stand. That evening at right before sunset, Dad's taping a big ol' fat possum when I see a Deer. Two does go flying right under our stand and there's a big one behind them. He stops about a 100 yds from us, it's getting darker so Dad does some grunts to try and bring him in. He just hangs out, making a rub, in the mean time another buck comes in, a small 8, it's almost dark so I get ready to go ahead and take the smaller one, well, the smaller 8 see's the big boy and decides to get out of town. Dad tried a snort wheeze, then ANOTHER buck snort wheezes back from out in the stripper hills. The big boy waits until it's pitch dark, then comes over to see what's grunting at him, he gets within 20 yds and is pawing the ground. I thought the redneck was gonna come out in me, even though shooting time was over I was dieing to take a shot! I didn't though. From the footage Dad was able to get he looks like a massive 8 pointer. We were just glad to see that there are some decent deer around here. We were begining to lose hope. Definitely looking forward to the rest of deer season! 
Dad has to work tomorrow so I'll be in the same stand. Not sure if I'll bring the camera or not. Wish me luck!

I sat til 10:30 and didn't see anything else. I think I'll go out this evening in the same stand. This year so far, we have saw 3 different bucks around 9:00.
I'm gonna go when Mom gets back. She said It will be around 1.
Is that another way to say "no common sense?" 
Just another night at work for me and Monty will be back here again bright and early.
