[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1352500, member: 4319"] They're hard after 'em in NE Oklahoma these last couple of days. Had a really nice 125-130 class 9-10 point (about as big as you're likely to see in my area, I was excited) pestering a doe around me yesterday. He got to within 30 yards but I had no shot. This encounter was rudely interrupted by an interloping dog who sent the doe packing...buck in tow. Biggest buck I've ever had withing bow range. :finger: you, dog. Today, almost a repeat of the same thing. Doe followed by a decent 8. Stayed about 15 yards out of range. I tripped on a deadfall in the dark walking in, the doe stood there and smelled where I had fallen (45 yards from my stand) for 10 freaking minutes. Buck just stood there waiting. She would take a step, he would match it...staying 20 yards behind her. She finally had enough and whirled and went back up the hill with him in pursuit. Makes me wonder if my clumsiness cost me a buck, they would have came right in if not for her smelling that spot. And the wind was in my favor. [B]Common denominator? Both sightings occurred in the middle of the day.[/B] 1:19 and 12:44 P.M. respectively. First year I've hunted much midday, will not be the last. Work is keeping me busier than I like during deer season, but we'll see what I can do. A couple of the most exciting days I've had in the woods in a while, though a bit frustrating. Huge adrenaline rush when you spot that buck after seeing the doe doing the familiar "sneak and look back" routine. [/QUOTE]
