I hate jumping spiders!!
I went to the club today. It was pretty warm, probably about 70 although in the sun it felt warmer. It's supposed to rain tonight though. I went to stand 16 and it just felt good. It was comfortable and I was filled with confidence as I saw a lot of tracks on the way to the stand. I got in the stand around 1:30 and by 2:15 I saw a deer in the middle of the field. I saw it for a while and then I didn't. I have the feeling that it bedded down in the middle. Shortly after that, around 2:45 I had a 3 point buck walk from the pit towards my stand. He walked right down the path and then under my stand. He stood there feeding for so long I could have shot him 10 times but wanted to wait for a bigger buck. Then after that, I had a small doe walk from the field towards my stand. She too stood there feeding 10 yards from me. I really debated shooting her but she was small and I just didn't feel like it. At around 4:30 or so I had a really nice doe walk from the shrub up the hill across the path but she went straight across and didn't come to me. She was about 50 yards away. I did see, through the brush, a doe and two fawns. They must have either caught my scent or some movement because they noticed me before I noticed them. They were coming down the field from the top and turned and went back where they came from (not that I would have shot anyway). During this entire night I kept swatting jumping spiders!! They were all over me!! What a great post this was!! (except the spiders).
