    I think you can kill two west of the blue ridge mountains, three if you are east.

    Talked with the other hunter(s), he is taking his son and wants to sit the pop up blind, so the preferred stand is out.

    I'll likely sit the back stand, but there is a chance another hunter shows up and he normally sits that stand. Might end up in the box blind or back on the NW corner again, but sounds like the other hunter hasn't hunted there in a couple seasons.

    Just out of curiosity, why do you have to change your plans on stands because of other people? Are you low man on totem pole there?

    Kinda, I haven't hunted many firearm seasons. I used to have the majority of November solo. That kinda changed this year. They've been hunting there for a lot longer than I have as well.

    Sorry for not posting sooner. Went out for an evening sit and my uncle and friend took the deer to take picture and field dress it. The first shot was low shoulder and came out very low in the crease on the opposite side. Here’s some pictures also. You can see the first shot entry hole on the full body picture.

    Had a couple somethings below me about 5:30. Thinking fix or coyote, sounded awful light on their feet for the pace they were at. Likely coyote, don'tvrecall ever seeing fox paired up.
