    Hoping the juice boxes and a tablet help us make it until dark this year. I’d give my left nut to have something walk by tonight. IMG_7214.JPG

    Been settled in for a bit but had some limbs I needed to groom. Tight quarters in here. Quiet and calm. Kill!

    I'm out. Try again tomorrow. Ground blind in the AM. Everything is on the menu. Evening, I think i may get on my feet and go rogue. Every Buck I've killed since 2012 I've taken from the ground. So, I think i will walk between the corn edge and hedge row, which is 100yds behind the owners house, starting at 2:30 until I find a well worn path coming through the hedge. Then I'll just pluck myself down on a log and see what comes.

    Winding down for the two of us. She got to see a few deeper in the woods and got excited. For now we’ll call it a win and celebrate with grandpa and some hot chocolate.

    Sometimes the hunter has to turn into the "rutter" to truly understand his prey. Start scent checking....

    If I were younger and single... But great eye candy on a day of low lows and awesome highs. (a bit more detail in our team 2 thread).

    One of the girls had a prosthetic leg and was working her way down a 14-er mountain. When my hip hurts tonight, it won't be so bad.

    Besides I made a friend with one of their dogs. Who enjoyed some water from my water bladder.

    I was hunting. I got all set up and reached for my phone to make the obligatory "set up" post and realized that I'd left it at home. I actually debated climbing down and going back home to get it. Then I realized how stupid that would be. :lol:

    I only saw two does and I could have killed either one of them. I shot 9 minutes of Tactacam footage and even drew on one just for the heck of it but I wasn't going to shoot a doe this evening. I certainly wanted to because the lead doe did what I hate most: It tracked me to my tree.

    They came out of the cut-over about 90 yards away and headed west. They went right to the tree I had been hunting. Then they turned south and I thought to myself "Good". The lead doe hit my walk in trail, put her nose down and hound-dogged me right to my tree.

    I don't know what it is about these shoes I wear that makes them do that. I used to wear a pair of Merrill boots and when does would hit my trail they'd take off. Three years ago I bought a pair of Hoka hiking boots and ever since I bought them the stupid does track me to my tree.

    I've thought about wearing the Merrill's when I don't want to kill does, but the down side to that is that the bucks don't seem to mind my Hoka boot trail much either. I wish THEY would track me to my tree. :lol:
