Thanks all definitely a great year for me. Last year I almost killed myself falling off a ladder ( broke my wrist) trying to figure out where to put my elevated blinds. It was really slow yesterday for me also. Today around 8 am I had two or three does bed up around e 35 yards next to me in crp. It's crazy how they just magically appear in it. Then around 830 a 3 year old buck appeared in the crp and it looked as he was locked down with one of the does. He would just stand 10 yards behind a bedded doe. They would disappear on and off in the crp throughout the day. At 230 the does got up and moved in into a small patch of trees. I was waiting for the buck to follow, when I scanned the crp and saw another larger buck close to the other one. The bigger buck was moving in the opposite direction and presented an opening in the crp. I quickly did the murp to stop him and then shot. Smoked filled the blind and I saw the buck stumble about 10 yards then fall down disappearing in crp. At this point I thought he had died. I open my blind windows to air it out and probably made some noise, when all of a sudden he gets up and stumbles into the small patch of woods. Now im in a state of panic and reload my muzzle loader and immediately go after it. Thankfully I catch up with him about 100 yards later as he keeps falling down.
