    Last buck you shot was probably castrated by the shot...

    The struggle is real.... haha it takes me longer to sort, organize, wash, dry, reorganize, pack, re-sort, take inventory, inspect, test, practice, and tweak all my clothes gadgets and gear than i have hours on stand

    Any of you guys use one of these?

    Bought it last year and tossed in the tote for storage. Charged it yesterday and tossed in and it was still running this morning. Charged it up again, but want to make sure it actually works before tossing it in again :lol:

    Tossed a bunch of earth scent wafers in as well.

    Scent is going to be pooling up and drifting various directions tomorrow so I'm gonna go vood with scent wicks as well. Try to wash as much of my scent out with them as I can. Not surr thst it will work, but sometimes false confidence is all you need.

    I moved because of bad wind. So probably easy a mile from my last location. I walk to marsh and head down edge. Instant smell buck. See bunch of rubs and setup. Soon as I look up for first time, bam a buck is standing there feeding! He just bedded back down about 75 yards away. 7 pt, probably a 2 1/2 year old. He will get a pass.

    My first hunt this year(20 minutes on stand) before heading to stand realized I forgot to switch out pracrice tips with broadheads.

    This morning I thought I had my one piece suit in the tote, nope. Wind chilled me too much riding up and down my back.

    Also I got this tiny thick spot right in front of me. It's only 20 yards x 20 yards big. I keep hearing strange noise in there. I bet there's another buck in there! This could be fun!

    I have what I consider perfect conditions. Cloudy with a light SW breeze @60F. My buck likes to come through around 4:30PM. I’ll be waiting.

    Just heard my first deer in a long time. Some thrashing to my right in the thick stuff. Heard nothing more though.

    Just crawled into the stand in Ohio. Cold and a bit breezy here but let's do this!
