    Had two doe at 30-35 yards. They walked in on my trail and were very jumpy. I won’t take a shot on deer that far if they are on edge like that. Great to finally see deer! Got me shaking! Lol!!

    lolololol
    cleaning my garage today/tomorrow.

    I actually rented a 10x10 storage unit down the street from my house last weekend to put all my hunting bins and stands in- that way I can spread everything out and just grab and go what I need every hunting trip rather than pulling them in and out of the crawlspace. (To the uninitiated, I hunt several 4-10 day stretches in at least 3 different states with no permanent structures to keep my stuff in/at.)

    Only thing I got at my house are my bows/arrows and cases. The $4-500 total in storage fees over the next 4 months is 1000% worth not having the "you have destroyed the basement and garage" argument again. When season is over I can just squirrel it all back in the crawlspace out of sight/mind.

    Much cheaper than a lawyer!

    They can’t see me up in the tree because they’re under mountain laurel. I got an idea! I’m gonna throw something in there to see if they are in there to see if I can pinpoint there location... standby lol

    Your scent control is spot on and/or thermals are pulling your scent away or you are high enough the scent is going over top of them. Remember these weather conditions and location for the rut!
