    Waiting for the rain to slow. I'm off the rest of the week. If it's brown it's down!

    Hey congrats on those deer guys, they are absolute tanks! Sorry about not getting on as much but I was out of the country with the girlfriend until this morning! I will be out again Tuesday through Saturday, mostly afternoons due to work except Thanksgiving I will just sit the morning. When I turned my phone on this morning around 7am I got a buck down text from a good buddy, a basket rack but he worked for that deer! Good luck this weekend everyone!

    Have you guys got your bucks entered and scored yet? Looks like we are still missing two bucks off of our score.

    So I saw this brown blob about 200 yards away from my stand. I thought it looked like a deer so I watched it for a while and finally it moved. I figured I would give it a grunt to see what happened. It payed no attention probably couldn't hear it. All of a sudden this high tined eight pointer comes flying from behind me, runs about forty yards in front of me and disappears. I thought he was looking for me but in hind sight I think he already saw me that's why I couldn't get him to stop.
    That folks was my excitement for the day.

    Congrats on the buck.

    I'm out here and at about 10:30, a truck pulling a trailer with another truck on it proceeds to park right in front of me and gets out and starts working on his trailer. Hes still there messing with it now. 20181118_122909.jpeg
