Mine was November 11 of this year. I went to hunt my favorite stand in a neighboring county. I have hunted this tree for about 15 years, always saw deer there. I had hunted the stand 4 times this year and hadn't seen a thing. On this particular day, I wasn't dressed warm enough and the wind was cutting right through me. I decided to get down and head about 50 yards south into the timber to get out of the wind. I was wondering why I hadn't seen ANY deer from the stand....I found out why when I got down. Some jerk had a meth lab set up about 50 yards south of me in the honeysuckle!! LP cylinders, milk jugs, camp fuel cans, plastic tubing....a huge mess and stunk like nothing I've ever been around. Cops came and cleaned it up....still haven't seen a thing from that stand this year. I've pretty much written it off for the year.
