November 16th

It was a really cool morning and hardly no wind at all. It was just getting light out when I noticed some movement on where I walked in the timber at off the logging road. Not sure if it was a buck or doe but there was two of them. They came up to the trail I needed them to walk down and then they turned back heading for the south. I was watching some geese and wood ducks in the river when the geese started to scatter. Here was two does at full sprint jumping into the river and off across the other side really fast. I was not sure at the moment what spooked them and then here came two coyotes on the other side of the river. I was watching them search the other side of the river when I turned over my left shoulder to see three coyotes at 20 yards. I reached down for my bow and they where standing on the path I walked in on and then they took off running into the CRP field. I got down a while later and headed out to my 4 wheeler. I got on it and started back to my truck. When I got in the middle of the field I noticed a deer running at me. I stopped and turned off the 4 wheeler. It was a small buck getting away from the dogs that where barking at him. He ran around me at about 80 yards then off into the timber south of where I was hunting. Still a good morning regardless of not tagging a deer. If you look at the river bank on the one picture you can see the coyote and the other is the little buck. These pics came off my cell phone!
