    Tough luck brother but at least everything you saw this morning is a positive sign. Stick with it man.

    Blessings..........Pastorjim

    All setup for the afternoon. Back to my old spot. I guess on this piece o land w/ no funnels I have to hunt it like my old man used to. Find a good spot with fresh sign....and put your time in.

    Lol, Hang in there VS. It's just starting to get good and it sounds like you are on a good spot and had an exciting hunt. Good luck and you'll stick the next one I'm sure! Not trying to twist the knife but how big was the buck you took the shot at?

    I’m surprised the woodland creatures have not adopted and started raising you as one of their own by now.

    Have a dilemma... One of my best friends (Austin) has been in the ICU and in a medically induced coma since Monday with complications due to diabetes. I'm also best friends with his brother (Jake) who is having a terrible time right now. I was with Jake pretty much all of Monday and have talked to him every day over the phone.

    A few of my buddies are going to Jake's house tonight and asked if I wanted to come out drinking with them to take the edge off. Tomorrow was supposed to be my first morning hunt of the year and the first major cold front with snow hit today... If I go drinking I know I won't make it hunting tomorrow morning. I feel I need to be there for my friend but also feel I need to be in the tree!!!!

    Well I just got settled in for the evening sit, not expecting to see anything here, just came to this stand way back in to check the camera... and there was 2 videos of deer since I sat in this stand like 3 weeks ago one was a nice buck but that was in the morning. Atleast it’s a comfy stand and I remembered my seat this time
