    I'm up and a deer just stopped blowing. On the way down coyotes want ape "&*?! On the property to the north. Deer was to my north and supposedly upwind. Not sure if it was me or not, wind is rather calm.

    Stand location got altered, or was it my indecisiveness was chosen for me.

    Couple other hunters pulled up just as I was spraying down. They were heading to the bottoms so I'm back where I was yesterday.

    Didn't see any in the fields but my aunt just got home and heard her tell the other two she seen a big buck cross the road onto the south end of property.

    Breeze picking up, 12 minutes to legal time. Nice and crisp out here

    Working a creek bottom this morning. Seems like an efficient way for a big boy to scent check this property the first couple of hours.
