First of all, welcome back DJ! Glad you are home safe and sound and looking forward to getting back in the stand. I will be out tomorrow as well. I dumped corn at the leased place today. The place is majorly flooded and I found ZERO deer sign anywhere. Its like ever since the corn was cut, they disappeared. But, the wind is good and its better than staying home. I'll post up what I see when I get home.

Ron and Rick. I was out down the McCay farm today looking for a duck blind to hunt in Dec. Found it. They have some nice stands over that way. Never hunted it though. As for the Ennis Farm, I dont hunt on that side of the place. I hang closer to the refuge by the cabin area. NO one has been hunting with a bow in there since the end of Sept if the sign in board is accurate. As for how far you can stray from the stands in an area, I cant really answer that. I just try to stay pretty close as to not piss someone else off that comes into the area to hunt. I never hunt from the stands after the 1st week of the season. The Deer have them pegged. I get on the ground and use the natural cover to help set up spots. As for portables, use them where ever you like just remember you have to take them in and then out with you when you are done. No setting them up early or leaving them there. If you go, let me know how you do. I've hunted it 3 times this year and havent seen a deer, but they are there. You just need to catch them coming out of the swamp. I'm sure you know its a QDM area too. MAkes it all the better!

Good Luck all! It'll soon be time for the Nov Thread!
