Well I was getting pretty grim with this spot as it had been
over two years since I had even seen a deer from this
stand. Though to myself I might as well start packing up
and maybe even take this stand down at about 7pm. Just
then I heard a huge splash in the swamp to my right. I
don't know how the deer even saw me through the trees but he
must have seen something through the leaves. It was a big
bodied, meaty racked, 4pt. He didn't have a fix on me and
stopped. I grunted and he circled the stand but never
approached..... next time.

Nothing moving except two racoons. Starting to see a
pattern here?
November 25, 2000 Morning
Nothing. I will take my stand down tonight if the luck
doesn't change.

Put up my stand, made a fake scrape and laid down some scent
trails. Walking down one of the deer trail about 20 yds
from my stand I found this rub. This is not spike buck
doing this. This was at least a 2 inch wide tree.
Very fresh!

Kicked up some deer from around my spot as I went in this
morning. Thought that's all I would see. Around
first light a raccoon came in to nibble on the apples under my
tree. A few minutes later I heard something else coming
and the way the raccoon looked and ran away I knew it wasn't a
fawn or a doe. Sure enough a wide four point made his way
to by stand. I waited until he was directly below me and
when he put his head down, I popped him right between the
shoulder blades. The Nugent Blade stopped him in
his tracks. He didn't go 5 feet. I guess the Wang
Dang Sweet Doe Tang did the trick!

Went out to put up some markers and to make a mock scrape.
There already was a rub right under my stand so this is where I
made the scrape. Put down some Wang Dang Sweet Doe
Tang, a Ted Nugent product distributed by Buck Stop.
We'll see if this doesn't do the trick on Bucky.

Did some scouting and got my tree stand up. It is on the
edge of a swampy, high grass area next to a runway in and out of
the swamp. It is very hard to get in and out of this area
but hopefully it will be worth the effort. Used my Ameristep
tree step driver and put steps up to about 20 feet where I
am semi-concealed by oak leaves. This is getting exciting.
