    Holy wind! Now the rain decided to show up. I am questioning my sanity.

    It's been a long while since I was there but if you get to Quantico to hunt try to get into the land navigation training area. Always found scrape lines along the creeks in there. Tagged out on bucks one year in that area. Was some beautiful oaks in there. Good luck

    I hear that, good luck! I haven't been out since the opener either. I'm taking Monday off (maybe more) and hitting it hard for a few days. Can't wait! :rock:

    Yea it hit and started raining pretty steady for little while. And talked myself outta getting down twice and finally wussed out, but of course it stopped so now I'm sitting on a field edge. Doubt anything will walk close but gives me a chance to scout 2 other stands that I can glass from here.

    You know your scent and movement is good when you are on the ground and have a doe bed down right next to you...[​IMG]
