    Just noisy squirrels. Shaded and thermals just switched, doing their magic.

    Like I always say, light and variable means that the light wind will undoubtedly “vary” to the nose of the nearest deer.

    I actually have a fairly steady SE wind. My sweat is actually evaporating for a change, which is nice.

    We don’t have many mosquitoes in the hills here. The ticks and chiggers make up for them though.

    Beautiful evening. Temps and humidity lowering a tad. Only walked in maybe .75 miles so it was t that bad. I should hear them coming down the ridge as its dry as could be.

    That was exiting. I almost shot him. He was an 8 that might have scored 100. He walked by at 15 yards.

    I told myself I was going to try to hold out for something a bit bigger this year.

    This tree sucks but it’s in a good spot.

    I'm okay with a light wind, but it's the variable that seems to screw me. :biggrin:

    When I say this tree sucks it does, because it’s a red oak that was broken by the storms.

    Here’s the top of what’s left :

    I heard that buck coming for a while. The leaves are very dry and crunchy.
