    Got down little after 10, checked cams, think I jumped 1 deer, could not tell what it was though. Looks like I had a couple small bucks sparing on the 29th. Other then that nothing special. Think 1 shooter on cam. Goin to lunch now. Will be back in stand between 1-2

    Well that was interesting, heard something coming up behind me, knew it didn't sound like a squirrel, so I stood up and started searching for it. I would here it for a second, then it would stop, so I was thinking deer. So I get everything ready in case it is. Keep hearing it getting close and not seeing anything. Finally I see a white head. I'm think what the hell is that. It was an opossum. Never seen one out in the middle of the day like that.

    First time I've sat in this stand and not seen anything. Kinda crazy, but also first time I've sat here two days in a row. Idk just one of those things I guess.

    Well don't feel so bad now, checked my trail cam next to stand and had somebody walking around woods last night at 930 and 1130. Come to find out my buddies dad let somebody coon hunt the farm last night. Probably didn't help with seeing deer today. At least that's what I'm telling myself cause it couldn't of been me doin something wrong ha ha.

    Was a pretty good night. I saw some deer chasing the first 10 minutes in my stand this afternoon. I had a basket 8, and this tempting 9pt come right past me. The 9 was nice and tall, but had a couple broke up tines on the right side. My buddy shot a 10 pt. Between the 3 of us we probably saw 20 deer. [​IMG][​IMG]

    Beautiful morning out in the woods!! 32 degrees with a bunch of fog. Had a nice buck come by at 10 yards. I could see nice head gear but just too dark. I wonder if it was the big 10 I'm after???!!! 30 minutes later another buck shows. A 115ish to 120 inch 10. I let him by, 4th time this year. He then locks horns with a buck 50 yards away for a bit. No idea who or what size the other buck was as I couldn't get a visual. Half hour later I stand up to stretch a tad. Busted 5 deer to my left 15 yards. I had no idea they were there. Felt like a dumb ***!!!!

    Anyhow, Here's some fog pics from the stand. [​IMG]

    The wind can't decide what direction to blow.. One minute it's in my face and the next it's on my back.... Oh well, it's 55 degrees and overcast. Hope it doesn't rain. I need to take a doe! Or two!
