    I was thinking about not hunting this afternoon because the rain isn't supposed to stop until around 6:00 or 7:00.

    But,... I'll be alone this afternoon with no back-up, I'm colorblind and can't follow a blood trail anyway so is there any real reason I shouldn't put on some rain gear and be there in the drizzle at the end of the day?

    Well I had encounter with a good buck this morning at 0950-0955 ish.

    At a mere 12 yards.
    I arrived late today. Sitting there haven't seen anything except for leaves falling.

    I was Texting back and forth with some friends. I was about to tell them I was going to get down at 1000. When I heard a little noise, I figured it was a chipmunk again, but I look up and it's whooper of buck for my part of the pa (Amish country). And he is 12 yards away. So I try real slow to slide up the tree to stand. I get up and he has stopped and is looking at me. I try not look or move. But I'm thinking I need to get my bow. He looks a head of him as if I need to get out of here quick which way do I need to run. As he looked forward I grabbed my bow. He jumps two bounds and stops and looks back at me. He is 35 ish yards. I get my release attached to the string and start to put tention on the string and walks out to 80 yards and stops and looks back at . Tmy direction. I tried calling to him but I knew he wouldn't come back. It's been a great year for seeing deer for me

    I knew I was going to be caught with my phone this year. I wanted to throw the damn thing away but I was shaking to bad to do it.

    Trying to find a pic of him from last year, and he is probably
    220 lbs and maybe 125 ish 5 or 6 pt. ( Tank)

    I think I’m going rogue today. Overcast, drizzly, 20 mph winds, wet forest floor. I think today would be a perfect day to still hunt on the ground with the leaf suit or the Gilly suit.

    Hey Little Chief, you look to be in an area I have to pass to get to the lake area I hunt. How far from Wickliffe KY are you if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks

    I just realized I lost cell service at daylight and didn't come back while in the stand. No action for me at all. Back at it later

    Gotcha! Lots of deer in that area. My family has a place towards the very back of Jonathan Creek /Ky Lake. The land around the lake just west of our trailer is WMA land. Walk to my stand about 5 to 10 minutes? Good luck! I will be watching intently knowing you are kind of in my part of the country. Thanks
