    I'm back on a park hunt again.
    Here's my left view.

    Here's my right view of a heavily deer trail.

    After the rain yesterday I'm hoping for some better luck. This is my first time hunting this park section. Time will tell how I do here.

    It turned out to be a button buck. Yes, I'm hunting in Fairfax. I now have 2 in the freezer. I might go back tomorrow after the butchering is done.

    Beautiful morning on stand here. Self filming myself for the first time. Had something come through about a half hour before it was light enough to see that didn't sound like a deer and didn't sound like a squirrel.

    Nice!!

    I've been in the stand since 5am and haven't seen a thing. I have been crapped on by the birds a few times though. At least someone is getting some action.[​IMG]
