    Grunt back, it usually peaks the deer's curiosity.

    Looks like you found yourself a new honey hole! If you start getting inpatient make a grunt noise with your mouth. Try to make a snoring noise with your mouth open.

    Time to break it down as quietly as I can. It's too dark now, and I have a haul back...

    Well, with at least two deer out there, I elected to leave the stand and boogie. I'll take a peak at the weather and see if I can leave it for another hunt. Otherwise I'll grab it tomorrow or the next day while its raining.

    Fun sit though. Wolves were howling as I was leaving. Hoping that distracted the deer.

    I think that was a good call to leave the stand.

    Just read all 28 pages! Epic job in logging all the info on your hunts. i keep a log book for all my fishing i do, guess i should do the same for hunting as well.

    Good Luck on Blade too!!!

    Well, I'm on my way across for an impromptu hunt. Wasn't planning on it, but the rain has let up, so I'm headed back to that clearcut for a sit and to retrieve my stand so I can hang it on Blade sometime this weekend.

    Brought a grunt call, rattle bag and a small pole saw too ( just put my blade on the handle to my car's snow brush:tu: )
