    I looked all day. Found blood trail stretching over quarter mile, it was tricky connecting it all cause there would be spaces of 50-100 yards with nothing and it backtracked a bit. Deer didn't follow the rules and bed down within 100 yards and die like it was supposed to. I can't be too mad at it though cause I didn't follow the rules and shoot it where I was supposed to. Blood was a drop every 10-15 ft with the occasional spot where it would stop for a minute or 2 and drop a dozen drops or so. Finally near dark I determined where it went off the property for good and got permission to check that land tomorrow. Gonna sleep like a rock.

    Hannah and I are in the tree together. I'm watching the backside and she's watching out front. I sure hope something comes by for her to shoot. We were together in the tree Last November 2 and I killed my target buck. An anniversary buck would be fine by me.

    Ever since that early movement it's been a ghost town.

    Got deer all over me this morning. 6 bucks 2 does. One 100" 8 ptr and one 120" 8 ptr. Bigger one came out downwind of me and casually went the other way chasing a doe. Had 2 smaller bucks spar for about 3 seconds then the smaller one ran off
