    In stand, barely a signal though. 1/2 hout to legal light. Bumped nothing on the way in. Wind, or lack thereof, is a bit concerning.


    I'll be here til sunset

    ^^^^^ my thoughts exactly. My wife is yelling at me to go out and shoot a doe because she's tired of me moping around the house. Never had this situation before

    Intense!!

    Just had a 10 minute stare down with decent 8 pt prelight. Came to 5yds from base of tree and just stared at me. Had the nervous breathing going, then stomach decides to rumble and grumbke every 5 seconds. Waited for him to blow and spook.

    He walked awat, scratched his head and disappeared.

    That made the day there! 6:55am, signal sucks

    Had what would have been a personal best walking straight at me at 15 yds. I was at full draw waiting on him to turn when he looked up at me and took off. I swear he could hear my heart beating through my chest.

    This morning was an exhibit of how not to go in blind and set up. Made to much noise and left scent walking everywhere. Had a buck grunting and coming then they crossed my trail and were gone never seen em. I'm not very happy with myself.
