Well on my way home today i stoped and walked about 1/2 mile down a creek and cut up a spur into the back corner of some puplic hunting ground I hunt.
1st thing i saw was a big scrape, as i walked up the spur, i seen 3 more scapes and a few rubs.
Once i reached the ridge every tree 8 inches in diameter or less was rubbed and most of the small sapplings were missing there tops and all the leaves in the area were thashed around.
I picked out a tree made a mental note and i plane to be up that tree by 0520 in th morning! And im going to stick it ut all day.
I'll check back in tomarrow night and let yall know how it went.

I missed him :/
 i got parked at 0500 and it tuck me a solid 40 mins to get back there in the dark. I finally got set up by 0550.
 At 0700 i had two coyotes come in i was up and rdy and the 2nd one gave me a shot at 15 yards but seen me draw and was gone before i could shoot.
he ran off about 150 yards and him and his buddy raised hell for about 10 mins.
 At 0800 i was taken a pee and thats when i seen the buck, he was a decent non typical i want to say 8 pt but his rack was real funky.
 i got my bow and he stopped to work a scrap that was 25 yards away, he was slightly quartered away and i reached anchor and let it fly. I missed by at least 2 inches over his back. he ran off about 40 yards and stopped then walked off.
 at 1000 i had to go #2 real bad so i aborted the all day hunt. I'll be back in there again i don't think he got that spooked and i don't think he is the only one in there.
 Grate hunt, I'd have to give it a 8.5 on the good hunto meter :)
