October 14th-What a day!

I was running a little behind this morning but still got out to my stand on time for sunrise! I just got settled in my stand when a couple deer walked right by me. After that I was thinking it was going to be a long morning with nothing else walking by since they moved so early. Boy was I wrong! At 7:06 am there was a family of 4 does walked by at 60 yards. Then a family of 5 followed same path as the last family at about 7:10 am! Both of those families crossed river in my site. Then at 7:19 am 3 does went to the far back corner where they also cross the river at. At 8:13 am two huge does ran up the hill going opposite direction from the other groups. Those does went out into the field and I lost site of them. A little Spike tried to sneak past me behind my tree. He was about a 5 inch spike. He came in at 8:18 am. While I took a couple pictures with my cell phone a deer came running down the timber and the little spike took off in chase of that other deer. Then two others ran off with them. Then as I drove around after getting down at 9:15 am there was 4 does out in the field! Seeing that many deer in one day was really cool and that has NOT happened for many years. I hope that is a good sign for this season and my deer to be harvested!
