    I take down all of my stands each year. I would be nervous to sit in it after the sun has deteriorated the straps. not good for growing trees also. I can't stand watching them grow into trees. good way to get kicked out of a good hunting spot.

    anyway, I checked another cam in another spot today only to see another buck completely shed. down to only a few spots left to hunt. if I don't locate any shooters from them i'll likely throw in the towel. worthless for me to go watch does without a tag. it will be time to put boots on the ground to find sheds for the shed hunting contest.

    You could take out a flintlock and take out a doe if you wanted

    true. but I don't own a flintlock. plus I hate cleaning guns. that's why I gave my in line away. I love my bow no cleaning necessary. I haven't given up yet. I still have two new spots soaking and the ridge of acorns had three little bucks show up two days ago that I haven't seen before. so hopefully more bucks will be migrating to the oaks.

    Decided to go out for a mid day sit.
    Low percentage, but it's a slight drizzle so you never know.

    With having less than 2 weeks to hunt, we have to go when we can.

    Good Luck!!

    Thank You.
    I've been fortunate this year to harvest 3 does so far.
    Been a very good season!

    Ended up seeing 9 deer tonight. It was a little breezy.
    1 buck, rest were does and fawns.

    Heading out to the county park to see if I can get it done on a big old nanny doe, about 40 degrees out and the weather channel says it's foggy out. Good luck to anyone else headed out
