I got in a little later than I had been but still had to sit an hour before light. I heard some deer leave one of the fields they had been feeding in, before light.
I rattled at first light. Had one approach me but never show itself. I'm right at the edge of a field, a decoy would be very helpful.
About an hour after sunrise, I caught a glimpse of a deer moving to my left.I didn't see antlers so I went for my camera.
They kept looking back, to where I had come in. I thought maybe another hunter was coming, or the farmer. The farmer doesn't like me
!
A little closer, looking back again. Maybe a buck?
They seemed to ease up and stop looking back, instead they were now focused on the brush to the opposite side of the field, although one was focused on me. So while I am taking pics I am glancing at the opposite side of the field, I heard a deer make it's way in there before light.
Someone doesn't like the lump sitting on the ground!
Last pic before they flagged and ran. It wasn't until they flagged and ran that I noticed the four had become five, with the fifth being a forkhorn. When I left I found where he had made a scrape. I guess that is why they were looking back at him.
Oh well I wouldn't have shot him anyways. But would have liked to get his picture. Didn't see any deer on the evening watch but did see a dozen turkey.
