Was set up on the down wind side of a bedding area this morning trying to shoot a doe. A half hour after light had a 120"9 point and about a 100" 8 point come right past my stand together at 10yds doing their j hook. I was set up in the right spot. To bad its only doe season here. LOL What's cool is I haven't been back to this spot since spring and it was my first hunt from my assault and sticks. Maybe there is something to be said for first time sits and being mobile. LOL

Thanks. This was in farm country that's probably 75% open ground. They were j hooking thru a woodlot to get to a swampy point at the end of the woodlot. When I got down I walked way out of my way to not get up wind of them bedded. Im gonna come back another day for that 9 point. A 120" buck is a real nice buck for around here.
