[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 1969354, member: 24459"] Friday evening. Weather was windy. I set up on a disced green trail near end of some bunkers about 1/2 mile from border fence. Ive got several scrapes in a concentrated area of sumac. Had several does browsing about 40yds away. Around 5:30ish a nice 120ish sz buck chased a doe towards my stand, i whistled but they never slowed. About 6pm a small 5pt made another scrape about 20ft from my stand, then chased the rest of the does until dark. I had to come down about dark to meet convoy, so i got busted n snorted at by the does. My cousin was hunting about 400yds west of me in some cedars and seen 3does. Uncle see a "monster", he's not much of a hunter, always sees a "monster", we had him in a producing water oak near a pond. My nephew shot at a "nice" one friday morning and seen a couple of does fri evening. Saturday, weather was perfect, with light breeze. i had some bad luck, first i took a spill getting out of truck. Stepped into a ditch and liked to broke my ankle, its all black nblue n swollen. Then when im near stand, i turn light off, moon is bright anyway. I manage to dang near poke my eye out on a cedar branch. Now im gimping and half blind. Daylight comes and i got a doe headed my way, also got a shooter buck over by a scrape but no shot. Both deer are within my range and both seem calm and unaware. I get ready slowly, then the does squats to pee, buck musta heard her and chased her into brush behind me. They were back there doing the chase thing for about 1/2hr befor heading west. About 10am, nephew texts, says he shot a doe, needs help finding her. I tell him to wait about hr and ill be there. Me and my cousin meet him around 11am, start searching, find his broken arrow, with about 3" missing. Had a couple hairs on it. He said he think he "spined" her. Anyway no blood. I hope she lives. Cousin didnt see nothing, Uncle got cold, was in truck about 9am. Back in my stand by 1pm, wind gusting pretty good, still chilly, just right for some action. Just before dark, could see 4-5 deer browsing the green about 100yds away. Had to leave but at least i didnt spook them. Nephew didnt see anything in evening, cousin seen does but no shot, uncle seen nothing. My ankle was killing me, my eye is scratched n itching n burning. Back at camp there were 7 very nice bucks killed, one brute for sure 140-150ish. Also a white hat killed a big buck but it was a 3y/o so he'll be banned and they keep the deer.
