    And back home, stomache let out a big grumble just as I got onto highway. 15 minutes later I was looking for a turn around and racing home.

    Woke up a little early this morning...so excited for this weekend. Gonna sit for a bit this morning, head home and bass fish, and then head back out. All day sit tomorrow with a perfect south wind. Put a scent line out - several fresh scrapes.

    Grateful.

    Great buck LC and the miss.

    MN - dont miss with a rifle!

    Bull - go luck on the track

    We shoot to kill!

    Complete cluster this morning. Missed the area I wanted by 100 yards. Had to back track down a great rut funnel. And had to cross a swamp that I didn't want to go near in the first place and sunk up to my knees in swamp muck. Now I smell swamp diarrhea! Cut a huge set of tracks walking in and could smell the buck. He laid down all kinds of new scrapes up on the ridge last night.

    My buddies 6 year old son - never been hunting has been begging me to go. So today is his day - going to sit on the ground and from a blinded in tree line this morning...

    Hunts like this make me a really good kinda nervous - because I want him to have a good experience. It’s important to me that he has fun. So I just hope we see some deer maybe some rutting deer!

    Good luck ya all

    Drove 100miles to hunt. Both my bedding areas taken by other hunters. Drive 2 miles and go into another one.

    Right at 1st light a mature buck is coming out of the thicket and gives me a 10 yd broadside. I begin to draw and he looks 20 ft into the tree and trots off. My gosh man.

    All settled in but got here about 15 minutes later than I wanted. The sky is already starting to light up in the east.

    Gunfire has started, lots of semi shots... Only problem, rifle season doesn't open till next week?

    Wtf! Only legal explanation would be small game or coyotes. But wtf! I checked the dates twice and even checked season dates.

    Oh, in the stand. Was skiing great to the stand buckle clinked on the stand. :eek:

    I always have that emergency stash. Looks like somebody may be losing a sick by lunch time.

    My favorite treestand breakfast. The liquid is crystal light diet peach tea, which is my personal drug of choice![​IMG]
