    Sweet! It will make it easier, especially when you are scouting with it on your back. It will help you to not just "settle" on a spot because your neck and shoulders are telling you to stop!

    I was almost pulling the trigger on a saddle today, but I want to try out mobile hunting first, I’m sure it will help me see more deer. Once I get into it I think I’ll be ordering a saddle and platform!

    Done. I moved, got everything set up and then sneaked out the long way around.

    That's a good spot. I'm hidden when they approach by the huge white oak on the right of that pic. When they walk past it they should be wide open and broadside at 25 yards or less. If they happen to walk the field edge I'm hidden by the huge white oak to the left of the pic. The tree I'm in is a white oak also. The smaller tree is a maple.

    I will shoot does this afternoon if they show.

    Can't take it anymore, this work stuff sucks! I going hunting!

    I got a new found buck bed that I have been trying to locate for 3 years. I found it last week and I'm going in tonight to see if anyone Is home. The plan is to try and setup at about 60 yards from it. This will give me a 30 yard shot when it happens. Things could change as I'm going in, but that's the plan as of now. Got a great windy day today which makes for great day to sneak into a bedding area. Will try and update when on stand.

    Good luck to you guys this evening! And LittleChief, smoke that big 10 tonight!

    I really don’t think the bucks are moving through there in the afternoon but if he shows I’ll do my best.

    Clocking back in, Tennessee. Back in the buck bedding area. Wind is blowing pretty good but it’s in my favor and it’s cooler this evening then it has been any other evening. Looking for a doe or bigger 8 pointer that I’ve been getting pics of between 5-6.

    I got back on stand about 30 minutes ago.

    It was 49 this morning. It’s 82 now. Wind is ripping out of the SW.

    If the deer travel like they did I’ll have a clean shot. First pic is where I’m sure they came from.

    Second pic is where they walk after they clear the huge white oak 2 feet from me. Pretty much wide open out to 40 yards.

    The last pic is my gear up in the tree. I’m only about 15 feet. That’s as high as I could go, but I’m pretty well hidden.

    Nah. These are Kentucky farm deer. They’re too stupid to hack my account.

    I’m glad I didn’t try to go to the dirt bike stand. They’re tearing it up over there.
