    I'm settled in. 250 yards or so east on opposite ridge as last night.

    Had a spike come in last night read script prefect and putzed around with clear broadside shots for 15 minutes but no way an I shooting a spike this deep and that close to private property line. Guys that lease that are good dudes but I don't want to tromp all over ground they paid his money for just to pull out a spiker.

    Got something working towards me in the gloom, shutting phone down for a bit

    GL everyone. Let's KILL

    Set up for 10 minutes I think my mind is playing tricks on me sounds like movement on the side of the bank to my left. In another hour going to try a light tickling of the tines.

    I would call this method 100% successful. It was so dry it ate like a chip, cracked and crunched on each bite. Tried a few pieces this morning and you would never know. Damn near the same texture as the 2nd batch I did not fall asleep during.

    Good luck this morning people!

    I’m sitting here in my recliner with my feet propped up sipping coffee waiting for someone to kill something.

    I appreciate that brother!

    That is a great mentality to have moving forward into the venture you are about to experience. I find it very satisfying on public land when you apply your logic to the woods and see a deer. To me, that is a win even if you don't shoot. Your knowledge, your experience, your woodsmanship put you in the right spot for the encounter. It'll also let you appreciate each encounter that much more.

    Even though I grew up hunting the woods I hunt now, I knew nothing. I sat where I sat because I saw deer droppings. Important things I've learned the past 6 seasons of hitting public land heavy is:

    1. There are no shortcuts
    2. Every sighting/encountered is earned
    3. The minute you let up it bites you in the a$$
    4. If you don't so your homework during the offseason you are missing major pieces of the puzzle (my current issue, my own fault).
    5. Be as mobile as possible
    6. Be prepared to make micro-adjustments to your setup once you are in the tree..meaning you might need to move in a tree 20-30 yards away if not, refer to #3
    7. Be as mobile as possible
    7. Embrace the suck
