    30 and sunny here in the morning. Haven't been out in 2 weeks and I'm ready to spill some blood. I'm tired of living through you chumps :moose:
    I'll be pounding coffee, calling, and rattling like a freak.... And I can't wait!

    Gotta agree with Feb, tomorrow looks like it'll be good day. Don't know if I can pull a all day sit bit I'm gonna stay as long as possible and grab a quick lunch and head back out.

    Hitting the road shortly. Of course winds haven't moved out like thought. Supposed to gust to 18 from the north. I'll take it.

    Really torn where to hunt this morning, so think I'm going to sit the stand where I hit the turkey a few weeks back. This is the only area where I have seen movement while not on stand. Internet reception is spotty at best.

    Would really like to put a doe down before things hit full swing. I'll know within the next 16 hours

    It's raining here, going out anyway with my new tree climber. Hopefully I don't fall out of the tree this time.

    Opening day of rifle season here, going to sit the morning out, might go out this afternoon. Tomorrow night will be on the road to Ohio.

    In less then 7 hours I start my mini vacation. Would love to be in the stand today, could go this afternoon, but figure since
    I'm gonna be hunting the next 5 days straight, I should probably take care of some honey-doos this afternoon. Good luck to all hitting the woods today. Be safe....

    Windy and cold here in Bama! Hunting on the edge of a 40 acer 15 year regrowth and big hardwoods to my left. No shooter buck on this farm that we seen but you never know what can show up. Good luck to everyone!
