    I was so looking forward to today, rain the last 2 days and a big front passing through.

    I swear, I could have told Noah it was going to rain and he would have built an ark for nothing.

    Dang dude that's tough.. I think that's the only bad thing about trail cams well besides the fact that they're addictive. Good luck out there bro. Lol

    It is November right? 2 weeks ago today would have been the start to my vacation. Thank goodness I pushed it back a week, this would have been a horrid start. Not sure if I'll sit all day or not

    Imagine I will as well. 41,280 seconds if legal hunting today, I only need 30 of those to swing my way for it to be the best hunt ever.

    Even went to Lee and Tiffany's feeder cam to see a deer and it was empty.

    Last time I sat in this stand(Sunday) I had mentioned smelling something ripe from the creek. Just got another small whiff so I started scanning the creek from my stand. Back to my right I can see what looks to be two front legs and then back to me left I can see another leg, a spine and what looks to be the rib cage. Looks to be a fawn. Starting to wonder if EHD hasn't taken its toll?

    Won't be coming out tomorrow. Maybe Sunday, see what the cams say.

    5 more hours and I'll be heading home.

    In the stand here in Ohio
    Winds are still in upper teens and low twentyfold but I can't kill them laying on the couch and didn't take time off from work to sit at home

    Good luck everyone
