    I arrived at my stand at 4:30 am. And at 4:40 am I had sticks breaking on the ground all a round me. At about 5:15 I heard, what sounded like a human walking towards me. The I see only the white on bone. We all know that sight. Moving forward its now 7:00 and his highness is bedded down 40 yards to my left in the thick stuff. I won't be able to leave for lunch now.

    I just video taped 2 bucks and 2 does at 20 yards. I'll upload the video later. While I was typing this a 130 class walked up to me and then went on its merry way. I wish I would have had my bow in my hand and not my phone.. self signing out.

    I can't risk spooking the big fellow. I can only hear him every once and awhile, but I have 3 does eat acorns and peacons to my right. This is most exciting hunt I've ever had. Ever. FACT.

    He won't lay there all day, maybe he will go by you when he gets up. If not, maybe he gets up in time for you to get lunch...

    Well apparently I can't hit 2 toms in a row, but I sure did just smoke a doe a less then 10 yards. Rage in the cage has given me a freaking bloodtrial like no other bit I heard her crass about 50 yards.. team 18 points on the thread.
