Well, i'm back from ripley, empty handed. man that place is chaos. unbelievable the number of hunters in there. the place is great when you get a deer, but when you don't you hate it because of all the people. all three of us saw really good bucks. my buddy missed a nice buck this morning. i didn't get any shooting but found a blood trail within 5 yards of the stand i was in an hour before. so, had i stayed in my stand i could have knocked that buck down. the guy never found it. ugh!
