    I just bought my tags and I think I may actually go hunt tonight. If I do, it will be the earliest I have sat by two weeks in nearly 10 years. I guess with my sons being older and doing their own thing now I just have more time to go. And, my wife told me I should go hunt...so I got that going for me. lol

    It's 82 degrees and I have not been getting crap for good pictures but I guess I am going to go hunt in some oaks that I have only sat in two times in three years. The last time I sat there I killed a 170 class 10pt. and the wind is perfect so........here goes nothing. Does will get a free pass tonight. I am not messing with getting a doe out and butchered in this heat.

    Well, I had a client come in as I was trying to leave early and had to take care of business instead. So it goes. I will go this weekend for sure. I have the urge to get out early this year.

    Big front is rolling through for the next few days. I plan to be in the stand as the rain lightens up, either Sat or Sun. Heck, it looks like I might even get a good wind :tu:

    Here's the deal, the government shut down and they canceled my vacation. The lady who was scheduled to taken my place is working too. I have four plants that I cover. She is working at one and I'm taking care of the others. She has been nice enough to take the 12 hrs shift. So I can get a little more rest. Long story short, I'm hitting the woods in the morning. Yea!

    Oh ya, hope I didnt come across wrong there, I love this buck I would never let him walk with 4 whitetail buck tags to fill. He is just one of those deer that is not built for big score, never would be..

    FYI, I just updated the scorecard and we're currently in 1st place :tu:

    Team 24 has a buck that will put them ahead of us, but the entry needs a time of kill to be entered. Keep those does coming boys! If we had the 2 scrubbed does, we'd be almost double the points of 2nd place :rock:

    Keep at it and stay safe out there!
