    Kind of nice having a truck stop 5 mins from where you hunt, brought my laptop and wifi card with me, able to relax, get some grub, and check up on every one. Recharging for a long afternoon sit, plan to be back in stand by 1pm, then sit till dark. Then ill be right back at it in the morning.

    Sitting in a restaurant eating late breakfast. The only people who aren't wearing camouflage is the waitress and the cook. Lol

    Doing a little eavesdropping. Doesn't sound like anybody had any luck this morning

    It was a slow morning here as well...two lone deer came in from behind but access trail unnerved them and they wandered back....loved the view though! Nothing like sitting in His creation for the first time of the season!

    Back in stand. Little early but oh well. Wind has picked up some but is kind of nice considering it is 80 out. Good wind though, hitting me right in the face. After the cam check I have decided it is open season on does, was gonna give them a pass for now, but not any more. First slick head that gives me a shot, I'm taking it. Good luck to any one heading out this afternoon.

    Well already had a more eventful afternoon than this morning. Been back out for a hour, in new stand I've never hunted before. Bumped one coming in, seeing as it kinda warm just sat here for awhile to cool off. Finally decided to finish setting up and was wiping sweat and spraying scent kill on and got blowed at couple times from somewhere. Didn't see what it was only caught glimpse as it went bounding across clover field about 30 yards from draw I'm sittin in.

    Not my best performance so far but the night is young. Good luck everybody.

    Nice, I'd be happy with just seeing a deer at this point. Been a long day on stand with no action.
