    I wonder if he was even left handed? Anyway. Went out once this weekend got to my tree an hour before shooting hours about 15 minutes later in came 3 deer. Could see anything but they're tails and necks. I managed to stall them for 45 minutes! I kept going meeehhh after they took a few steps. It was thrilling and promising but of course by the time I could see they where just out of earshot. I hung around waiting for them to possible return. They didn't. I think they were just checking down wind of their bedding area. They kinda made a hook and circled back.

    Saturday afternoon I made a brief last minute scouting trip on a piece of public land I have never hunted before. I had my four-year-old in tow so we just drove around looking for potential spots to pop up a ground blind for him to sit in with me on another day. We ended up seeing three does in a field about three hundred yards away in a field. He was not in the mood to sit in a blind and insisted we try to get close enough to shoot one. I made a halfhearted attempt to stalk close enough for a shot. The wind was right but the field was flat and open with no cover. It it hard enough to stalk a deer with a bow on my own, much less with a four-year-old behind me. We made it within 100 yards before one of the does turned around and spotted us crouching on the field edge. They took off. On the upside, I found the trail where they came out of the trees along a creek bed. Looks like a good spot. Hopefully we will get back in there in the next couple of weekends.

    Sat out this am and saw nothing but heard a bunch running through the woods on my way in 1.5 hours before sunrise. Guess I didn't beat them this am.

    Back out this afternoon and the construction going on ~300 yards away has quieted down some to about half as loud and annoying. Hopefully we'll see a buck come through!

    Looks like I may not be getting out this weekend. Forecast is calling for heavy rain all day today and tomorrow. Sunday I am too busy. Arkansas needs the rain but I need some time in the woods.
