Passed up a dandy 8 right after light this am. As he was coming through the brush I was doing my checklist. Height. Check. Mass. Oh yeah! Width. 
only 14″ . Came to 15 yards and sure had the heart pounding. He has great potential for next year too as he had 9 and 10 started
Setup this morning on a stand very near to where my deer bed, maybe 75-100yds? Got apple trees between us and a beaten down trail connecting the ridge with appple trees to the ridge where im in stand. Where the ridges meet seem to be a funnel point as the trail i described is very well used. This is the area where i have been getting pics of my bucks running around. Well, 10min ago rattled in my first ever buck ever. It was a little 5pt but the excitement was awesome! Ran 10yds below my tree, now hoping for “Loppy” or “Jason” to come out. 
First one is loppy, second is jason (named after our dad lol) 
All settled in for the evening! Hunting over brassicas and a corn field! In an oak tree! Wind out of west! Been seeing lots of does in this brassica plot lately!
set up last night in a vally between woods and a corn/hay feild. had 2 small bucks make scrapes in front of me then they came back and started chaseing 4does around.
message to the deer that waited uhtil I was 10 yards away to blow at me in the dark I heard you run into the fence and I laughed Its called karma [censored] Just had a little buck cruise threw
had a doe walk by at 9 no followers yet
Settled in the creek bottom just off a trail littered with large fresh rubs and scrapes Im on the edge of my seat
chasing grunting and buck roaring Its on now
Get him!!!!!
Passed a small 10 about 730
Did you get any film of him?
Nope Grabbed my bow and by the time I realized which buck it was I didnt have a chance to get the camera out He was on the prowl
Is 625 good enough for the tree stand Yahtzee world championship ?
Had a doe go by at 5 yards I let her walk as I could hear a buck grunting behind her Then here he comes with his spikes held high

sounds like you pass time the same way i do. 625 is one heck of a score. 
Seen 5 so far Had a does bed on a small ridge about 75 yards away About 10 minutes later a buck came and rousted them I didnt get a good look but liked what I saw
well after a long week without hunting I am sitting in a stand we call the zoo . wind is steady out of the Northwest should be a good night
view from the zoo stand
Lori passed a spike and I saw 4 at about 315 They are out and about early today
very slow here 
kinda makes you wonder what happened to slow it down ? dogs ,trespasser or just a slow night
5 does now
It’s magic time!!!! I’m sitting in my kitchen. 
Decent morning saw 2 bucks on the prowl A small 6 and a 120ish 8
tonight i am set up where I killed the split g-3 buck in 2010. 
winds are 15-20 mph out of the north/northwest. not a great early season buck stand but you just never know… tonight might be the night 
there are 5 or 6 scrapes within 60 yards but the cameras are still showing mostly night time movement.
slow so far 
but I think it’s going to heat up soon
2.5 year old Buck just got a pass. i have heard 3 gunshots since legal shooting hours ended
1 6pt so far this morning. Man i thought the woods would be jumpin! 19 degrees brrr
Day one Buffalo County. Just rattled in a nice 2-1/2 yr old.
Just had buck number 11 walk by . 2 3.5 , 4 2.5, and 5 1.5. 2 does right no. All in bow range . bad thing forgot binoculars in car.
Just grunted in a 120″ 8 at first light. He was traveling alone and he got the free pass to live another day. Should be a nice buck if he gets another year on him.
