I had a great meal with my young family. I usually travel to Massachusetts to visit family, but with 2 young daughters we decided to start this year having thanksgiving at home. After the meal and a nap I headed out to the stand. Got up about 3 and had steady action until dark. I saw 4 bucks and a doe total. I had a big bodied spike at 7 yards broadside. It is the biggest horned and bodied spike I have ever seen. I have tons of pictures of this deer in October but none since. It looked big in the pics but I thought it may have been just the angle, not the case I honestly thought about shooting it. But I am after a buck I have unfinished business with.
Around 4:30 I caught a glimpse of the big 12 point I wounded nov 3rd and have been after since it came back on camera nov 19th. I thought I was going to get another chance. He was on the same trail as the spike and I thought he would do the same thing. He got to about 80 yards and stopped. He stood still looking around for like 5 minuets and turned around and walked away. I knew I should have moved my stand after I wounded him but I didn't. I will be out moving my stand tomorrow around 10:30. He must have been thinking last time I was over there during the day something bad happened. I also saw a small 8 following close behind a doe.
What a great holiday. I am going to et some leftovers. I hope everyone on the site had a great holiday also.
