    You ever sit in a spot that just seems so good you dont feel like you can relax even a little because any second something is going to happen? That's this spot..

    Then stay off the phone!

    I had that same feeling until 60 seconds ago, when I failed miserably to stifle a sneeze. Sounded like an inverted snort-wheeze. But much louder.
    Oh well, at least the sun is out and there is still an hour of light

    I don't think so. Tonight has been perfect, wish I could have gone out. I'm on call at 7am, I don't have time for any extended recovery efforts.

    I'm still hopeful somebody is going to drop one.

    Had a small 8p walk in at 10yds but not what I’m looking for. Followed by 3 does and 3 fawns they gave me no shot as they stayed out a little to far. Got about 15min left.

    Finally set up. Much later than I wanted, but my buddy who owns the farm needed a little help moving some cows and steers. [​IMG]

    Ended up having great movement, just all right after last light. The doe that made the wrong turn ended up coming around but got too dark, then right before I started climbing down another doe busted out of the same spot as earlier, I think it was a little cat spooking them I saw on my way out, then I busted another on the way out, I was in the right place the sun just set too quick for me tonight. I wonder if the heavy-ish wind was keeping them bedded down or maybe the almost full moon tonight?

    .... Tonight was a complete bust for me, but then when I got back to the truck and turned on my phone I got a text! My old man shot one, I'm on my way to help him track.
