Finally made it out tonight. Felt darn good to be in a tree. Had 6 turkeys playing hide and seek most of the night. All hens. With about 30-45min shooting light left I had 9 deer read the script. NW winds. They were walking south along the corn edge and to my west. My stand choice was perfect for the set up. Couple decent sized does in the mix. Seemed as if most were button bucks. They got to where I crossed the RR tracks to walk to my stand and one of them got nervous. Then they all got nervous. A few started back the way they came. Then they turned as if they were going to proceed. Then a couple more acted goofy. Next thing I know they were all trotting back the way they came. Frustrating. I'm sure they took any bucks which may have followed the same path and changed their minds on exiting this direction. Pulled a couple cards on the way out. No big boys. More trespassers. Not a shock my shooters have disappeared. Was a relief to actually see deer.
