My advice for "everything is taken" is layers, layers, layers, especially if you're joining us from FLA. Late October like that it's not unusual for it to be in the low 30s when you hit the woods in the morning, and climb to 55 or 60 by noon. Then be warm like that as you head into the woods in the afternoon, and drop back down as it gets later. I guess what I'm saying is that you really need to prepare for big temperature flucuations of 30 or 35 degrees.

For all of you already here, did anyone shoot anything Saturday? I passed on about a dozen does and a spike. I'm hunting all private property this year in a few different counties, and trying to limit myself to "shooter bucks" only (probably 6 points or more). Had one small doe that almost got herself busted for being stupid. She made 2 circles around my tree and close enough for me to spit on. She had me terrified she was going to get me busted if a buck stepped out.

Boy was it good to be back in the woods.
