Right there with you Pat... I should be in my stand by 2:30 or so... I am a little uneasy about this wind though, it's quite brisk. It's suppose to get up to 20mph today. I should have taken my half day yesterday, or this morning, it would have been the right time. I just talked to my maintence guy and he said there were deer in every field this morning on his way to work. [:-] Hope that means there will be deer in MY field tonight. Wish me luck, this will be my first time going hunting by myself... I know it will seem weird to all of the guys out here, but I wasn't raised in the woods like my husband was... he just can't understand why I don't like to walk out by myself at dark, but I've never had to deal with it before! He keeps encouraging me to come out by myself and I keep saying "I'm not ready yet". So I had my guts about me last Sunday, I was going to come out... all by myself... in the dark... but then he ended up coming over to my stand because the yin yins were under his, so I didn't have to. But today, it's just me, myself, and I... I'm fine to walk through the day, doesn't bother me, I can see everything around me, but at night, I HATE not being able to see what's around me, even with a flashlight, but I'm gonna do it today. Once I do it, it should get me over my fear... I HOPE.

I feel like an idiot. I love to hunt, and I'd sit in the stand every day, but I hate walking through by myself. What a hunter, eh? Sheesh... maybe tonight things will change for me.
