    Couple deer popped out about 500 yards away. Couldn't quite tell what they were. Hoping that ten starts moving my way.

    Alright, new property in Macon county. Sitting on the end of a finger watching a heavy trail. The whole rest of this finger is deep, heavy cover. The corn was picked last week and my step dad saw 2 shooters exit from this finger over the weekend. He couldn't tell exactly how big but I aim to find out

    Sitting on a tree row corner that it's surrounded by beans on three sides and cut corn on the fourth side. The farmer said he has seen a 150 class buck the past two days that we call Buddy. We'll see what happens.

    Just had a pheasant come by at 20. That's the first time I've seen one while in a stand

    Finally had a deer come in on me last night. The largest 4 pointer Ive ever seen. This guy was almost to the edge of his ears and had decent tine length (on the 2 pionts he had lol). He came by at about 8 yards, but had to let him go

    Shot this doe Sunday evening. Had to take it to get processed. Never seem to get as much meat when someone else does it. Just didn't have the time.

    At it again. 65 degrees and calm. And only action so far is the retard who walked under me and just stood there when i flashed my light on him. Then walked about 100 yds and sat down. No stand. Gonna be a good day though. Beats the heck outta working.
