    Just had another cruiser. 35yds in the woods. Stopped him and think he is still there. I'll shoot so I don't have to gun hunt with the storm system next weekend

    A deer could walk up on me, I'd never know as loud as these squirrels are.

    I had one doe come in hot this morning with a buck behind her. Not 5 minutes later I get this pic from the other stand I was going to hunt..... 37811.jpg I think I'm going to pull my cameras so I don't keep second guessing myself, or better yet, so I don't know lol

    Driving home, I just remembered, there's a bonus week a bow hunting on state land in Connecticut. Christmas week December 23 to January 1, guess who has all of those days off because he is a student? This guy!!

    I'll be able to scout and hunt almost everyone of those days!

    I'm set for the afternoon, my prediction for the evening is zero deer. Beautiful afternoon though, lucky i get to enjoy it like this.

    Absolute best afternoon conditions all rut.b I have 2 spots in here. Set my buddy up on one.....was almost to the other and a guy was already on it. So I went old school topo and found a spot that works terrain and cover wise. If a buck behaves like he should he should cross 10 yds in front of me. I always think positive ....lol
