The best laid palns of mice and men are still subject to divine intervention......2024 edition

Another great day in the books. Started slow with the only thing for the morning being a 1.5 yo buck they quickly crossed through uphill from me about mid morning. 1200 comes and I'm ready to take a trip for chow when all he'll breaks loose. It was windy and hard to hear all day but there were some loud pops and cracks coming from behind me. I look around the tree long enough to see 4 deer running through thick stuff behind me.... all I could make out for sure was a small 6/8 basket rack. Now I'm staying. They run out of sound range but I'm primed. 10-15 minutes later the group comes running from directly behind me. A hot doe, followed by a shooter (but not huge) 8 pt with the basket rack trailing. I grunt but only the basket stop s, and just for a second. They run to my right up into the CRP. A couple minutes later I see another basket pushing ac doe in the CRP from a Rodham different direction. Not long after a final basket cruisers through sniffing. I sit most of the rest of the day waiting for a return that didn't happen. An hour or so left and a doe fawn comes in and eats all around my stand for a while. I head out and bust a mature doe that is already in the cut bean field eating.
