    Where did you get the ghillie suit? I have been thinking about picking one up to try and get a deer from the ground without a blind.

    Hot but can’t waste a day. Work through the weekend means I have to grab any chance I get! Good luck to those that are out.

    Arcturus ghille suit green.

    Buried it in the mud and dirt for a few days, washed it off and used different shades of brown spray paint to tone it down a bit.

    Should I go out? Strong wrong wind for any of my stands that I can hunt today and 80 degrees. Worth doing it anyway? Killed a buck a year ago today.

    Image1538604740.972221.jpg one hour left! We’ll see if this trail is from deer or the other hunters when I check the camera after I get down!

    I hear you! I was sitting in one of my newer trees, and there's one small branch that hangs down farther than it looked from the ground. It WILL be removed before my next sit, it drove me nuts.

    Cold front just moved through. Super windy, temps dropping by 10-20 degrees, and can see clear skies to the west.

    Tomorrow evening should be good for deer movement (can’t get out in the morning).
