    Good luck everyone!! I'll be heading out in a few hours for a midday sit. running and gunning with the lonewolf. anything bigger than a 6 point is going down if it comes in front of me....2 RI buck tags to fill, and I need more meat for the freezer. I'll check in when i'm out there!!

    I always strap mine to the handle on my bow case, can't open it without taking it off. Take it off the case and onto my wrist...

    Just had a small basket rack sneak in behind me, stood up to stretch and looked around the tree and he was standing about 40-50 yds behind me, let out a couple light grunts and he turned and walked away, what a wuss...

    lone doe comes by at 5 yds and mills around until 80-90 8 pt comes by 5 min later. He starts grunting then a little 4 pt comes from opp direction. 8 pt bristles and turns sideways and does a half hearted charge at 4 pt and rams antlers. Little guy runs off then 8pt starts stomping his hoof on the ground while looking at the doe. Its like he couldnt take it anymore and just started running at the doe while grunting. While that happened three turkey came by at 20. wild!
