    Situated on new property, no one has been here since last November .
    I had to drive up and down the driveway/road just so I can see it in the morning darkness tomorrow.
    It's so quiet and beautiful , I can hardly stand it.

    I hear ya, I already used some of the vacation budget the oast 4 days. Think I'm sending that decoy and electronic call back for a few replacement tanks of fuel.

    Never used them and don't think I'll need them, was wanting to tey something new. Oh well

    First time hunting over standing corn and it's pretty cool watching the deer move back and forth just need something to come in closer so I can see what it is and take a shot
    Still a cool experience

    I have a choice...actually, many choices....Elk, or whitetail in many different states....it's a tough choice..so many awesome people I want to meet and hunt with.

    Now that it's just me and my wife, I am taking a hunting trip every year....

    She won't settle for anything less than mature.

    She has hunted for a long time but had never killed a buck with her bow. Apparently she thinks I'm good enough to get her a shot at a mature buck. Boy do I have her fooled.
