    Starting to calm down a bit. The birds are going bonkers, I hope that's a sign :tu:

    Looks like an impromptu hunt this evening. Dad's dipping out of work early and is headed to his stand across the lake. Figured he could be my chauffeur. :tu:

    I'm gonna sit in a new spot between the beaverdams and where I think Blade is bedding. We'll see what happens. Time for an amphibious assault! :evilgrin:

    I'm pretty close to the lake this sit. I have another spot 50 yards in, but that one might be a little thick yet to see much. Though, this one isn't a whole lot better!

    Beautifully calm night. Drizzled a few times, but other than that it was nice. A lot of bird activity and I could hear the beavers all night since one of their lodges is about 60 yds from the stand. A couple grouse roosting had me fooled for a bit. No sign of deer tonight. I really like that tree for being a birch.

    I forgot to mention that I put my other trail cam out yesterday. I knew the area I wanted it in, and had it narrowed down to two specific spots. As I walked up to the first spot, I noticed two small fresh scrapes.

    ... I didn't even look at the second spot :tu:

    Can't wait to check it next week!

    I wish we had some grouse where I hunt, I'd be flinging arrows left and right. Best eating bird I've ever had.
    Just curious Fitz, do you carry a sidearm out there?
