Went out today for a bit, @ 37* and windy. Didn't see any fresh scrapes or rubs in their usual areas though, kinda surprised. I did find a comfy place sit down and after forty mins spotted movement @ about 50yds, which was my limit of visibility into the brush. A deer was slowly moving and feeding it's way in my direction but I couldn't tell if it had antlers or not until it closed half the distance. Turned out to be a real nice size doe. She wandered to within 15yds of me and then walked broadside to me until she just wandered away. Never knew I was there. I was hoping I would see a buck following her around but that didn't happen... at least today. Things are starting to cool down and there are three weeks left so there's still time and hope.
