October 30pm 50 degrees NW wind 5 mph Mostly sunny What a night! After 5:00 it was insane. 12-15 total deer. 6 different bucks. Had an amazing encounter with a 10pt that has been very photogenic. He chased a doe out of the corn to get things going. Chased her all over the field. Grunted to him and he seemed very intrigued but he continued to follow the doe. 10 minutes later he came back and came right to my tree. Had him at 10 yards but never got a shot. He was stuck behind a big willow and never stepped out. Awesome night watching all these deer interact. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
How often are you getting pictures?
What time of day?
Direction of travel?
Is he bedding on the property? Any idea where he is bedding?

October 30 34 degrees SW wind 5-10 mph Mostly sunny Crisp, cold, frosty morning. Raccoons, coyote, squirrels, and a few deer. Saw a young buck with his nose to the ground chase a doe from a bedding area. A few other deer in and out of the corn but never got the binocs on them. Textbook perfect morning but nothing to fling an arrow at. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have never seen a coyote on this property in the 15+ years I have hunted here until yesterday morning and again this morning. Pretty sure it was the same one but who knows. #wileyneedstogo Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Picture perfect October morning! Just had a small buck with his nose to the ground enter a bedding area and bump some does. He chased after them and disappeared into the woods in front of me. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

October 29 am 42 degrees W wind 5-10 Cloudy Occasional sprinkle Fresh set this morning. This spot seems to really shine during the second half of bow season so I have left it alone. Had a six point come through. Rub a tree for awhile and then browse his way through. Did 3 rattling sequences this morning with no luck. Lots of fresh rubs and three scrapes all within view of the stand. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
October 28 pm 42 degrees SW wind 6 mph Cloudy Occasional sprinkle Felt nice to be back in the deer woods for the first time in over a week. Had a couple of young bucks along with a doe entertain me tonight. On a side note, I pulled a card tonight and it really could tell the story of what's happening now in the woods. Seeing some quality bucks but all movement has been shifted to darkness. Bachelor groups are finally busted up. because of this I have had one buck disappear from this camera. ( I believe he spends more time on the other end of the property). No doubt doe harassment has started. 4 or 5 instances of bucks chasing does including a mature buck.

Feels like forever but I'm back on stand for the pm portion of the day. It's been 9 or 10 days since my last sit. Seeing social media pics along with the posts on here had me chomping at the bit to get back to hunting. The woods looks very different. Very few crops left to harvest and most if it is standing corn. I heard it has been very rainy and windy for past few days and the walk in was very wet. Leaves have thinned so I finally have a decent line of sight from this stand. The two scrapes close to this set are torn up. Seems like a good night to rattle. Let the fun begin.
