    I've been listening to walnuts drop about 20 feet away, also hearing the occasional hedge apple(sounds like a doe stomp) dropping about 50 yds away. Glad I'm sitting in an oak, walnuts sound painful, hedge apples deadly.

    Well I'm up in the tree, hardly any breeze at all, 70+°. There's a rain front coming this evening so I'm hopeful to at least see some movement.

    Nice!

    I'm slowly losing hope. I've killed two deer in the evening, both button bucks and before 3pm. 4 hours 23 minutes left.

    Just made it into stand #2. On the way in I collected about 2 pounds of chicken of the woods. Now all I need are some back straps.
