    Bigger buck in trees on other side of plot. Think he bedded down. Up to 8 today. Best day yet this year.

    You'd think I'd have this crap down by now.

    Been sitting here doing the old reverse math.

    Sunrise is 7:25am

    Legal shooting time 6:55am

    In stand by 6:25am

    1 hour to drive to stand

    Leave by 5:15am

    35 minutes upand ready.

    Set alarm clock for 4:20am

    Back yp alarm for 4:35am

    Back up back up alarm for 4:40am

    I'm such an amateur

    I'm on a doe mission tonight. I came back to the water hole where I shot my buck earlier. Man this place is tore up! Must be another big one in here. Acorns still bombing down.

    Alright just got off work and went straight to the woods! I'm up in stand now for the last 2 hours. Looking for a doe or big buck! Good luck all!

    And I do it all the time :lol:

    Even have a 20 minute window factored in to where if I hit the mark each time i'll have 20 minutes to dress once I fet there. Otherwise I'll likely be on stand 10 minutes before shooting light.

    Then next weekend when the time changes I'll freak out again :lol:

    I do the same thing when Im figuring out what time to set my alarm in the morning. Shower 5-8mins, get dressed 5mins....and so on. Gotta get every last minute of sleep I can.

    Hang for a bit. Have 1 drink. Leave early enough to hunt.

    I got that feeling, like something is going to happen tonight! Confidence is high!

    Anyone seeing any deer yet?
