    Team members . I knew joining a contest was bad luck for me... Today I used up ALL the luck I have for the year. While checking farmers hay field for cut, I see the normally open deer trail from his field to my woods was filled with branches...lol He should have done that on his field side of line not in my woods. Anyways bent over moving branches I suddenly smell skunk. WTH? Did I walk over a skunk hole in my stone fence line? I stood up and looked around ,then behind me I see a huge white skunk maybe 7 ft off! :jaw: His head down and directly parallel to me. Well just as he lifted his head... One would have thought I was shot in to that field from a launcher. He never skipped a beat and continued to where I just stood looking for food. I watched him for sometime until he moved off down hill and I knew I could enter our land up hill. Funny, cool day ,for once, I was drenched in sweat the moment I hit the field... He certainly startled me...lol

    So ya being superstitious, I'm pretty sure luck reserve was drained...LOL

    That skunk was basically saying: “I’m gonna pass and let that one grow another year”

    Glass half-full: the contest hasn’t even started yet and you’ve already avoided getting skunked
