I shot this nice 8 point buck this morning at 9:10. It was one of the slowest mornings that I've seen. I saw one small 6 pointer(almost looked like a spike) at 8:30. I usually see at least 3-8 does every hunt here. At 9 i almost got out of the stand and went to work, but I told myself.."you've sat here thru that storm last week for two days in the driving rain and you sat here this morning in the rain..now it's clearing up...15 more minutes is not going to kill you!!" and 10 minutes later I saw him coming down the same path that I use to walk in.
I've hunted this stand about 3 times a week and have a nice seven pointer on my cam several times. I put my brother in this spot 2 weeks ago and he saw 2 nice bucks. The one that I got was the smaller of the two. Shot him with a Rage using my crossbow at 25 yards...watched him hit the dirt!
His hocks weren't dark at all. I haven't seen ANY chasing in my area here in Wake County.
