    It’s not looking good. 30 minutes into daylight and nothing so far.

    If nothing moves within the next hour I’m going to assume they’re already bedded down nothing will.

    Actually with the moon phase that’s most likely a safe assumption already.

    Still, it’s the coldest morning so far this year so I’ll give it some time.

    Just ordered a new Scott Shark release. Dual caliper, light trigger, stays open after pulling the trigger, camo buckle strap. Meets all my specs I need a light trigger with my soso shoulder and I've always wanted a buckle strap. My velcro strap is so noisy. Have to do something while I'm sitting here. EBAY is great.

    Now there was something you don’t see every day.

    A big bobcat came by carrying a rabbit it had killed.

    The frat boys came by again. I’m not that mad. I was young once too. They get a pass

    It’s been crazy here this morning. Feels like November. I thought I’d see some early movement and then trickle off but it’s been steady. Its been about 10 min since last movement

    Things are better wherever you are than they are here.

    Screw this. I’m getting down and going home.

    I’ll be back in Kentucky two weeks from today to hunt the new moon.

    Jeep and gear smoked. I'll be heading out for an afternoon hunt over the swamp'ish area where I found the fresh sign on tuesday. It looks like they were eating the shin-high grass. Let's hope that's what they want to eat today!

    Kidding, I stole the Pic.

    I've not hung a stand or stick, not readied my pack, heck, haven't unpacked my bow since CO...yeah, could be a cluster, but would be great to sit in a tree for a bit.
