This morning, I went out to my favorite track of land before work. I have been seeing does in this one tiny field, so I decided to forgo one of my trees where I have seen little action. I set out some Tinks 69 about 30 yards from my stand and I put my climber up and got settled in about 5:45. There was a full moon last night, so I could see everything at 5:45, so it was pretty cool to watch the woods wake up.
At about 6:45, I saw the three does that I had been seeing in the tiny field. They were about 100 yards away and moving away from the field. I guess they didn't get the memo that they were supposed to come to my field. About 7:15, I saw a nice sized buck walking around about 50 yards away through a thicket. He was basically walking right infront of the tree I decided not to climb! If I had been in that tree, it would have been a 10 yard shot.
Anyway, the wind was not working in my favor, so instead of smelling the Tinks 69, he stuck his head up and smelt the three does, and went walking off after them.
At 8am, I got out of my tree and ran home so that I could get to work on time. I didn't kill anything today, but at least I got to look at 4 of them.
