AM Hunt - Steve pointed me in the direction of new stand location so I hunted there this morning. At dawn I had a small buck with a broken horn feed around my stand (see picture below). He stayed for a while then fed off into the bedding areas to the South. The wind picked up and the temperatures stayed in the 30's.

At 8:00 AM a second small buck walked by, he seemed to be scent-trailing a doe. The last deer, yet another small buck, came in at 10:00 AM. That was it for the morning hunt. I climbed out of my stand at 10:30 and hung a new treestand in the swamp for Thursday morning's hunt - same place I hunted last November.

PM Hunt - I went back to the same general location as this morning, only closer to the field edge. At 4:40 PM three does walked by and entered the cornfield. By 5 PM there were over 20 deer in the cornfield and one small buck chasing them. He came within 20 yards and I recognized him as one of the smaller bucks seen on Tuesday. Overall the deer have been plentiful but nobody has seen a mature buck yet. Hopefully things will pick up here in the next couple days.
