    Alarm is set, coffee pot set to start brewing when I get out of shower. Rain has sped up and lightened up a bit for totals, was going to take the sled but may not now.

    Having a couple drinks to make the eyes saggy.

    Biggest dilema is which stand to hunt if solo. Rain makes me want to sit the scrape, but cams say mature bucks last 2 weeks weren't there. I want to sit my favorite stand, but may nit be able to if someone else shows up. Then there's my "used to be favorite" stand that the wind would be best for but shooting lanes are lacking.

    First, I have to get up and in the shower and actually go.....

    I’m planning to get in a morning hunt tomorrow.
    Haven’t looked at the weather yet to determine if it’s climber with the bow or blind with the sidelock.
    It should be full on chase phase here right now.

    Going out with my 14 year old son. Bowhunting with climbers. I am tagged out, so I'm just the supervisor. He's been at it hard, and I really hope he gets a chance. 26 degrees and dropping.

    I'll be in a tree in Arkansas tomorrow afternoon and I'll hunt there through Sunday. This will be my last trip until the 11th of December. That's when I'm heading to Kentucky to take out my frustrations on some stupid deer.

    dinner at the ILs tomorrow, wasn't planning on hunting this weekend but if Mrs. Noodles keeps it up I will tell her C U Next Tuesday. No idea what got her tail in a crank today and I'll grin and bear it tomorrow seeing as how I am smoking the turkey, but if she doesn't relax I am spending the next few days after that in the woods.

    Awake, fed, and about to hit the road. W wind, today, is the worst for me...gonna have to be a ground game with the rifle,with wind, I think I'll need to be in the lee side of a hill, in pines.

    Have narrowed it to two possible spots:
    1 a small block of land I haven't seen anybody hunt this year, have seen deer adjacent to it.

    2 a two mile hike, in a heavy pressure1300ac chunk where its been hit /miss over the years...I've seen a deer there this year...

    My decision made... It's go time!
