    Nice. Well good luck. Looks like I may have to sit for a while anyway. Right after I posted that about staying home a doe bedded down 20 yards away. I switched to a ground blind though so I'm dry.

    Got up and settled. On a tree line overlooking beans. Two island in the middle that the deer love to bed in and there were fresh, big tracks heading right for it. Had to be from this morning or the rain would have washed the tracks out a bit.

    Well the 8 I missed a few weeks back got another pass from me tonight... I see the trail cam pics and tell myself I'm going to shoot, but when he shows up I just end up watchin him.

    He was about 35 yards out tonight and I didn't feel comfortable taking the shot.

    Awesome night none the less. Watched him work his way through a bean field about 300yds out and come straight to the winter rye I planted.

    Well not live from a stand, but I'm live from a corn field. Had
    Kind of a crappy wind for my stands, so I'm sitting about 2 rows in on a corner that gets a lot of action. Both of my shooters stepped out 10 days ago while I was at home in bed. Hope they make the same mistake again, been raining for 2 days straight, had a really dark night last night, so hope these deer are up and moving today. Wish it was a little colder though.

    I think I need a new pair of boxers, I just had a deer literally run right by me in the corn, I heard it coming so I just balled up and waited for the impact. It grazed my chair. Oh man that was nuts....

    I would respond to that, but my response ain't the type of thing to be posting on here.
