Walked to stand straight west of house with flashlight this morning.  Wasn't there 5 minutes and had deer <10 yards on trail coming from bean field.  Really dark and could barely make out shape.  Think it was a buck but couldn't see antlers.  He circled up wind 20- 25 yards away and left down hill.  Minutes later had another deer go south.  Also had deer go through bean field into woods to the south.  Later in good light saw 2 fawns in woods to the west.... 50 yards.

 

  About 8:30 had 1 1/2 year old buck in bean field.  Bleated with "lil can" and he came down trail.  At <10 yards I was on him at full draw and had the spot picked but felt tip of bow touching tree or stand and I moved just a little to give bow clearance and deer bolted.  I was a nano second from releasing!!!

 

  Fun morning!!!  I like that area!!
