[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2627322, member: 15643"] Got to enjoy a cool, windy evening in the stand with my daughter. Bumped a couple of deer that were bedded under the stand on the way in. Just a few minutes later I catch something fluttering between two trees about 40y out.......yep, only one thing moves like that in the woods, bobcat tail. The cat proceeds North, I gave a couple of lip squeaks and here she comes, running down a log and then appearing from under the foliage the three of us make eye contact. About that time a doe comes up from behind the cat and starts blowing. Snapped a couple of pics and video, and the cat made her way down the trail.

Short while later this button buck and knot head wander in.
