    I'm going with the far north stand. You might get lucky to have a deer walk the red or orange line winding the timber. It will get you if they are out in the open to the east. JMO.

    I would say bottom. With the wind. But I haven't had one deer using the wind today.

    I got rained out. Checked the cam that is about 15 yards from the stand I usually sit in the morning. Had a giant cruise by at about 6:30 Tuesday??? I will be in this stand from here on out as long as I don't have a strong south wind! Pumped!!!
    Shadow, hang in there! You will get it done soon!

    Damn dude sorry to hear that. The stuff we love so much to do certainly does suck sometimes. Hang in there, at least you’re seeing deer, LOL

    One white hair. No blood no smell. Distance was 25 yards not 18. If I would have held my 25 yard single pin on him I would have killed him. Back to the drawing board.


    And as I was inspecting my arrow a 120 came to within 50 yards. I stalked to within 30 yards and drew. He looked right at me while broadside and trotted off.

    Rough hunt

    Anybody mind if I jump in on here. About to get down to business in the tree stand this afternoon. Couple more hours of work and then I'll be spending all my daylight hours in a tree for the next three days.
