First day Ohio. I had a nice shooter 10 yrds from me while I was scouting. Could nt even knock an arrow, he was on top of me. Running with a doe. His mouth had that rutting panting look.
Snuck 150 yfs after them then pulled back to where i found multiple scrapes and rubs in some thick stuff nearbye....we shall see.

Spike went by

Deer ran getting out of tree at last light. No snort or blow. Hitting that area again tomorrow, except farther back.

Hit that spot where i encountered the nice shooter. Hiked way back 2 miles looped around and made my way back to fresh sign. Should of hunted the first poop and scrape i found, i second guessed and i ended up right back where i was and it was deadsville. I buggered it up and made a huge second guess mistake.....analysis paralysis.

Analysis paralysis tortured me last year...
 
Today I slept in, been hitting it hard ( hunting hard is an 18 hour a day task) well it got to me and i got sick. Slept in. While i was relaxing this am. Shooting arrows, getting ready for a pm hunt my cell cam sent me a pic of a wide rack buck on a ridge at 8:30am . I hunted him this pm. I had an idea where he may be bedding. On my way toward the possible bedding i found a fresh scrape and another not so fresh scrape on a travel route 300 yards from bedding. Fairly think cover.
I was conservative and set up 190yrds from possible bedding. Between that and the scrape. Had a spike come in down wind right under my stand? Scent control works? Who knows. No big buck and wind is wrong tomorrow am.

2nd Hunt. Took my time getting in. Watched a doe in a food plot for 25 min at first light then walked to an area that’s a natural pinch point with good edge. Found 2 fresh scrapes and set up on a creek crossing between them. Trails in front of, beside and behind me. Great wind. Man this has to pan out. If not today in the coming week
