    Tucked into the stand now. Hope to see something tonight. I'm tired but forced myself to go.

    To all of you who posted about losing your deer. I'm sorry to hear it! That was me last year. I can't tell you it gets better, actually it still eats me up a bit. But, it is part of hunting. Try and learn from it and get back out there.

    All settled in here overlooking a long narrow clover plot with scrapes all along both sides. Jumped a doe that was bedded right behind my tripod.

    Other than a slight breeze and the sound of the creek flowing down at the bottom of the ridge it is dead calm out here.

    Hunting a narrow creek bottom. A travel corridor between 3 large bedding areas. Corn on the north, pasture behind me.

    Two hours until dark. It's 41 degrees and dropping. It's overcast and the wind is perfect.

    It sure feels like a killing afternoon.

    Someone needs to take one for the team and give a Fergie buck a dirt nap so we can get this evening rolling.
