You're right on those broken play days. They can be interesting. The best time I ever had I forgot my arm guard and a KNIFE. I shot a nice 8 point 10 minutes after daylight while leaning against a tree because I couldn't find my stand in the dark. I was 3/4 of a mile off the road, no knife and a big Georgia deer on the ground. That day I learned how to field dress a deer with a Bear Razorhead with the bleeders removed. It wasn't pretty. I ended up driving my jeep within a couple hundred yards through some pines.
