    Did I fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk? Click... never mind.. I fired six.....

    Just saw two guys coming out of the woods. They shot at that Spike and missed. They also walked into the woods 30 minutes after sun up and walk right through my setup

    Will get back out tomorrow afternoon. None of my areas are open again. Worst season for that since I began hunting this place over 15 yrs ago. But the place I'm going tomorrow I saw a few great bucks this year so that is good. Ateast I'll have a chance. Hope to go in early and try to find where the does are feeding.

    Lol. Like the old western movies where the guys shoot 12 times out of a 6 shooter.

    Just a spike this morning. I moved my stand 15yds where I had better cover, better view of the whole field and a more broadside shot. The wind has picked up a lot so if I do get a shot I hope there is a break in the wind.

    Be careful not to fall out, hanging upside down and all.

    Back out. Picked up a decoy to try. Running out of days to hunt. Gun starts Dec 1 here. I'll be going shotgun too, but would really like to get this buck.
