not return at least during hunting hrs. I hunted morning and night from 10-7 through 10-13 without much success, i normally wouldn’t of hunted that hard but with the weather conditions we had it was hard not to. passed up 1 small 8 ptr. a couple of does and fawns I didn’t see a deer until fri pm and that was at 5:45 5 min later a get a text from a friend sitting in another stand of mine that he’d just shot a doe, that deer i saw came back and walked right in front of me it was a small 8 that i let waik never saw another the rest of the night, a couple of mornings i could hear deer walking but couldn’t see em, sat pm i sat in a stand that i hung the previuos week (in the rain) 20 min before it was dark i caught movement 40 yrds. away and saw 2 deer walking i grunted with my mouth to see if they would stop so i could get a look at them by the time they stopped i could make out the rack on the 2nd one and it was a decent 8 the first deer stopped where i could only see the back half of his body that deers body was huge compared to the buck i was glassing after 10 min they just kept on walking, the next night i returned to the same stand and some buck had the balls to walk right under my stand and make a scrape 10 yards away from it although i didn’t see a deer that night it was a good sign this stand is on a huge rub line from last year can’t wait to see what happens,
the morning we got the snow i could see a buck making a scrape but it was still dark and couldn’t tell how big he was at 6:50 am a doe and 2 fawns walked right through my shooting lane were the big boy was suppossed to be i sat in my stand until 10 that morn expecting to see more but it didn’t happen had a couple of encounters with does but that was about it
