    That's hard to conceive you're hunting and seeing deer, and I'm on my PC looking out at the darkness. lol I'll be in tomorrow morning for an all dayer.

    The first 6 came back by, crossed the creek and found a doe. Just now another 6 came by following the same path as the first 6. They're fixin to run her.

    I'll likely be out there. When hey showed up on he 4 wheeler I climbed down so fast I forgot my quiver. Plenty of arrows/bolts, but no quiver to hold them.

    Really wanted to hunt midday today

    Tomorrow is going to be on fire! On stand from 0530 to 2:30pm tomorrow. Two all day sits next week as well. If I don't score it isnt going to be from lack of effort.

    I just witnessed one of the best fights I've ever seen. It was btw the buck I spooked out of the food plot and the next buck that came by. That doe must've been ready. The first buck wasn't leaving and the second one had plans of running him off. This is all across the creek on the neighbors in the timber.
    They started out in a multi-flora rose patch. They weren't playing either. By the sound you'd have thought it was 2 monsters going at it. From there they knocked over about a 8" dead tree. At this point, the third buck I saw got out of there. They just knocked the battle off a few minutes ago. All is quiet again. It has been a good hunt!

    What is that a opossum? It's hard to tell in the picture.

    Clothes in the wash, alarm is set, property is tainted a bit but hell or high water, I'll be there anyway, hunt it is.

    As long as the SE wind holds true, I may sit in my uncle's killing stand. Only sat it once and climbed down. It's a gun stand but with a crossbow I may be able to make it work. Not a long shot, just a lot of cover around the hunter kind of stand. Not bow friendly

    That reminds me. Need to check my numbers. I could have bought my own land to hunt tomorrow and not even known it.
