Guys, I have to tell you about my deer spot. This place is semi-urban a few houses within 1/2 mile, mixed with brush, grass, and scrubby russian olive trees. It takes about 10 minutes to get there, so it's a great after work spot. Oh, and it's full of deer. I went out again last night, set up my pop up blind next to a big wild rose bush and under one of the russian olive trees. Petty soon, thump, thump - 4 deer (all does) came running by, one stops at about 7 yards looks around then heads off with the others. About 15 minutes before dark here they come, wow deer all around. Somewhere in the 15 to 20 range....on all sides from 10 yards to 100. There was only 1 spike and 1 two point, the rest were does, but what a hoot watching them. There was no less than 10 easy broadside shots at 20 yards or less. I've hunted this spot over a dozen time and almost always have deer within easy range but man I just never get tired of having them that close. At one point there was 8 does and fawns within 15 yards staring at my blind, trying to figure out what it was. What a hoot.......and with the rut just getting started hopefully a big boy will show soon, before my itchy trigger finger gets the most of me!
