    In stand but man is it warm this morning. Seen a buck with a doe just before the property. She took off then he looked like he ws on an ice rink trying to gain traction on the wet blacktop.

    Jumped two deer walking in right by my plot. First time all year.

    Supposed to rain this afternoon so my plan is to hunt as late as possible today then make a move to a stand with a little more cover for when the rain comes.

    Has been a beautiful morning both visually and audibly......until the crow brothers have disrupted my tranquility by waging an all out assault on a hawk. They need to be charged!

    After having every deer on the property around my stand last night I figured I'd try again. Had a yearling out in the field a few minutes ago. I need to do so recon for tomorrow's sit. So I will cut outta here before the rain.
    Good luck guys

    I'm all set up and ready to go. It is ridiculously calm here. And it also sounds like a herd of elephants when walking through the woods. Its so dry, I hope we get some rain today.

    A deer just came bounding by. Pretty sure the neighbors are back to letting their dogs run wherever.

    You guys that don't like DST should be happy. Your back on regular time now. DST is what you were on before the time change.
