For many years I've been storing mine in those 18 gallon totes with a lawn/leaf bag stretched over top before I put the lid on. No cover scent. I line dry all my clothing outside after washing in a scent free detergent (scent shield). Then pack it away until I'm ready to hunt. Never wear the same thing twice, once worn, it gets washed. I have enough clothing for about 10 days. Yup, over kill, but it took nearly 20 years to get there.

The wife is continously reminding me that I have more camo than she has clothing...period.

I'll come back with a quick remark...better get some camo to catch up with me! LOL

Filled my doe tag today. Nice 2 1/2 yr. old.

While trailing my doe, I had to remind myself that I needed to keep my mind on the task at hand...bucks were plowin' the ground. 6 scrapes opened up. Just a bunch of nervous tension scrapes. They mean absolutely nothing other than a few bucks were "thinkin'" about the up coming 4 weeks. Acorns were launching out of the oaks and scoring several direct hits...ON ME! Buck scat GALORE! This ridge was dead quiet two weeks ago. We've had a couple cool mornings, leaves are changing, and the deer are moving very well despite the full moon. High deer activity 2 hrs after sun up and between 1-3 pm. Early moon rise and late moon set are a plus when the mercury runs south!

Not much doing here.... It's been very hot and I've haven't been much.... It's a long 4 month season and the rut is still 2 months away, so I'm pacing myself.

Hey guys,
I had a good day out yesterday. I went out after work got in the tree about 4:45. At about 5:30 a doe and fawn came out. Not a shooter doe though. Then at 6 a father and son came through on there quads. I thought my night was over. Boy was I wrong.
About 30 minutes later 7 does and fawns came down the same exact path the quads did. Did not take a shoot though. The doe I wanted did not present one. I was excited just to see the deer finally moving.
About 7 i was getting out of my stand and saw a hugh body Buck. I am not sure what his rack looked like but judging by his body he was a mature buck. I will be out on saturday again with the same winds so hopefully I can get him to come out before it is to dark.
How are you all doing? Are the deer starting to move for you all with the cooler temps?

Hey guys sorry for the lack of post from me. I have been ultra busy. But 2 does down for me. First one i took a 15 yard shot and she only went maybe 10 yard and folded up. The very next night i took a 35 yard shot and she ran about 40 yards and expired. Now that the freezer is full time for the Bone to come to daddy.

Keep us informed on your hunts guys.

going out to hunt tomorrow (opening day) on a new farm I've neverhunted before. Went there this evening and saw several deer including a decent 6 point. Gonna just set up on a fenceline along a brushy field and see what happens. I'm sure I'll see some and cansee along ways so that even if I'm not in the exact spot I'll be able to narrow down on them for the next time. Good luck all
