Doe fawn came and hung out at the base of my tree for about 40 minutes

End of the day and it was nice. Hopefully it keeps up. Didn't see any rut behavior but it should be happening. Just need one love-hungry boy.

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.

It rained overnight so I slept in this morning. Went out at noon. Afternoon was warm and sunny. About 2 or so the wind picked up to the point where I was getting a little sea sick. Hardly even any squirrels about.....

Went out this morning with Casey's rig as I hadn't been able to zero mine last night. When I got home yesterday Joel and Casey took me out for veteran's day. We went to a brewery in Logansport and it was really nice.
Anyway, this morning I walk into the field I have to cross and there is a young but fairly nice buck still out eating leftover beans. I got to within about 75 yds before he hopped into the CRP. Another year or 2 and he will be nice. Other than him, zero in the morning.
I went in at lunch, had some chow with Casey and zero d my crossbow. Good to go. Back out I went and had a breezy, uneventful evening until about 20 min left of light. I had just blown a buck grunt series when I saw some movement to my left in some heavy brush about 80 yds. It was a yearling doe checking things out. She hung around for a few trying to figure things out. Then a mature doe came from the other way but didn't even show down... just kept walking. It got dark and of I went
I am counting the days until gun season starts. On the earliest of years it would have been today.

Today was slooooow. First thing this morning I caught 2 does move through the CRP above me ..... could just make them out. Then zero. Noon came and I went to put the safety rope up at the new stand, get gas in the truck and chow. Ended up having a great meal at a truck stop just a couple of miles away (brisket w/Mac n cheese wrap and fried 
). Back in the stand from 2 to dark (sans phone which I left in the truck) with no action. There was a doe on the field across the road as I left....2 more days of now season.

The morning was gross and raining so Casey and I headed to White Castle for lunch once more. About 2 I was back in the stand as it was just misty at that point. Wet and warm at 50 something have not pannd out so far. Nothing doing in my part of the woods. Saw a few deer in a cut corn field down the road as I left. Ugh. Gonna be out all day tomorrow for the last of bow season.
