Pre Rut Success with the 350
Got out of work early today, traffic was light on the commute home, and was walking to my treestand by 3:00 pm. I figured luck wasn’t on my side when I kicked up a decent buck on the walk in. Never a good start when the first deer sight is a white tail and what appears to be an upside down barstool doing Mach 1 in the opposite direction.
I settled into the tree and had a spike walk directly under my stand ( directly under my feet) in between the ladder and the tree. That has never happened before and I figured that would be the highlight of the hunt. Then, the does came in, another buck arrived and started working a scrape behind me. Yet another buck came in and started chasing a doe. There were deer all over. Somewhat uncommon in the area I hunt.
I was fortunate to have an opportunity to take my first deer of the 2018 season and feel blessed.
I am trying to post a few pics into the post but it will not allow. I will post the links.
Be successful and be Safe!

Thanks, I’ve seen other members have the pics right in the post. I followed (at least I think I did) the steps in the “how to post pics” thread. I can only post the link. I even attempted to resize with no luck.
