Did I walk up on you in a tree Saturday evening ?
4.30-5ish?
Looks exactly like the spot I ran into another hunter turned around and left. I saw movement in tree so I circled around got on a old logging road and realized it was another hunter. So I left hunted way down that logging road past another stand and cut up the ridgeside. I saw a small 6 point and passed.
Was setup on a transition edge between a small lake ,field of corn , where it met oaks by a logging road and old fence line with 2 strands of barwire you needed to cross to get in stand?
Dove hunter was shooting alot by lake on property over across the road? Kentucky River Wma?

500 yards later I saw three more bucks. The two little ones looked at me 50 yards away, the 140-150 class 10pt did not stick around for a second look. GREAT buck.
1/2 hour later, I had a 110-120ish 8pt in full velvet at 85-90 yards. I made a loop to try and cut him off, but his straight line was faster than my loop, and I never caught up. I was standing there checking the map for my next move when two bucks came charging out of a pothole swamp behind me. They went by about 50 yards and 25mph
I started working towards the original destination when I spotted a group of deer about 250 yards out. I pulled up the binos and OMG, 6x5 TANK of a muley. I closed the distance to 95 yards, but there was a big grass swale between us. I watched him feed for 10-15 minutes hopokg he would work my way and then him and two does busted for no apparent reason. I was sitting down at this point with good back cover. I looked behind me and saw another hunter walkingin the wide open. Ahhh, the joys of public land. I have tomorrow off, so I'll be back after the big muley in the a.m.
