Saturday morning was a fun one, still using this season to do my best to learn my new hunting land. Put my Nephew in a ladder stand a few hundred yards from mine. Heard a shot at 6am and was sure it was him, nope. Sure was close though. Around 7 I had a small 4pt with his right side broken off come in and walk behind me, was within 10 ft of my ladder, about 45 minutes later a doe was following the same path and as I was watching her I heard grunting. Sure enough a buck was following, he was decent but not one I want to take this early. They worked to within 20 yards of me before wondering down the side of the ridge. No shooting but exciting anyway.
As we were leaving we loaded up the side by side and I was showing my Nephew the rest of the area and as we circled the trail behind his stand, we see a hunter in a tree just across the property line....now I know where the early shot came from. Really lookin forward to getting this place set up the way I want it to be.
