hunted the new spot tonight. got off work at 4 in stand around 5..snuck in good and quiet and didnt kick any out. didnt see anything but 1 squirrel. guess it might helped if my eyes were open..i woke up when the last bit of the sun was going down over the hill. i wasnt COMPLETELY out..i would heard a deer if it came in. i think the small game hunters pushed all the deer out today. i counted about 10 on the short 1 road drive in. i like the new spot...but then again i dont. its TOO thick. i like the thickness and the creek bottom atmosphere but i dont know if i could get a shot off in there. by the time i see the deer its going to be in my face. i dont know..i think next friday after work at 4 ill sneak in there and try to find a better setup for sat morning..we will see...

on a happier note im about 80% sure i seen MY buck tonight. it was pretty daylight when i got out but dark in the woods. so i went for a drive to see where other small game hunters were to plan my spot better. in the field across the road from my spot i could SWORN i seen a buck..looked like the same thick wrapped around rack..pulled in jumped out with the binocs and i couldnt find the deer..i know there was a deer there when i drove by. cant say for 100% that it was MY buck but it sure looked like it..
