    When you are all geared up to have a great afternoon hunt and the conditions look perfect, then your wife tells you, "remember honey I'm flying out of town today".

    HA! Hey, you asked! I could take a nap, wake up and fully agree with others saying go get him. Even with an off wind....there's always a chance.

    My travel trailer is all set up in Kentucky. The farmer let me park it on what they call the "home place". It was his grandparents place and it's got some great hunting.

    I'm about to toss a stand in the truck and buzz over to the T woods and put a climber in a tree for this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Midday tomorrow I'll take a look at the wood patches here on this place. I've hunted it before. Some of you may remember the "dirt bike stand" from the past couple of years. It's here, along with some other good spots.

    I really want to sit the T woods since there is a good pond there. It has been bone dry here forever so a water source is a good bet. Also, all of the crops are out of the field so I can drive my truck right up to the wood edge. It was a soybean field so the approach will be quiet.

    It was a soybean field. I take it you haven't walked across the stubble left behind from the soybean harvest. Good luck with that.

    I should have said "more quiet than a picked corn field" or "relatively quiet". The deer here don't pay much attention to vehicles and farm equipment in the fields. Still, driving through corn stubble is horribly noisy, plus I always have to pick corn stalks out of the bottom of my truck when I do it.

    I jumped a group of five deer off the pond walking in. Four does and a spike.

    That doesn't worry me at all since I know that is only five out of probably fifty or a hundred in the vicinity.

    I don't think I want to shoot a doe the first evening, but even I never know what I'm going to do until the deer walks in front of me. :lol:

    I just remember walking in the dead of silence mornings out across the soybean stubble to get to my stands in Illinois and I just felt like every deer in a mile could hear me coming.

    Okay, okay.

    I won't shoot a doe this evening. Honestly, I'd rather not shoot a doe in the evenings this early in the trip.

    If a doe walks by during a morning sit though I'm gonna shoot unless there is a buck close. It's going to be cool enough I can shoot a doe, nock another arrow and wait. This early, though, if I get a shot at a buck in the morning it's going to happen before I see the does.

    My last trip here was a total bust, but with all of the crops out of the fields they have no choice but to go to the little wood patches for cover. Those and fence rows are all they have to hide in now.

    It's only 2:20 but the primary PM movement period (moon underfoot) is 2:50 - 4:50 pm, so I guess I'd better get changed and get up a tree. It'll be a long sit but I don't have to worry about the time clock any more.

    There is something to it whether some folks believe it or not.
