Well opening evening was ok. Its that he didnt want to take the extra couple steps. Seen 2 bucks tonight. they kinda took me by surprise. I heard a bunch of noise and next thing I know here comes a nice buck running away from another buck. The buck that was chasing him stopped just short of the logging road. Had he stepped on the logging road he would have been 10 yards away. Anyway he wouldnt commit and turned and walked down a hollar in a thicket. But this was opening day so I will be back at it tomorrow...

And that's the TRUTH ruth!! No lie, by the time I hooked my Summit to the tree, I had killed about 30 of them. Up the tree, fire up the Thermacell, 5 minutes later, I had a nice pleasant evening. That doe was w/in 20 yards of my stand and never had a clue on the earth I was there. Thermacell be damned, though I COULD smell it......But who cares....no more skeeters!!

Hey germ? That couple you saw having sex.......It wasn't bloodcreek, was it? Oh, no wait a minute..you said they were having SEX........couldn't have been him, my mistake.....:D

Just a little rambling....

I've decided to leave my MOST productive area alone until the good part of the year (Nov./Dec.).....and I hunted a stand, saturday, close to my honey hole. I observed 7 or 8 deer (can't remember), including one new buck.....but not a buck I would be taking. I sat up yesterday in the spot I thought they were headed to.....and sure enough....about 6:00.....I saw them funneling my way. they'd have to cross a fence to get to me....and I was set up 30 yds inside the fence line. They got to about 20 yds from the fence.....and took a right.....button hooking back in the direction they came from. No biggie....I almost won the cat/mouse game.....and they're no wiser for the intrusion. I slipped out the back way. If I leave these deer alone.....they'll be there in a few weeks....and where there's does in Nov......there'll be bucks. it happened that way, last season.

So....all in all...a great day on stand....and a pre-cursor for what's in store. I'll continue to hunt the fringes of my good spots.....and hopefully I'll keep having some success with the does. Nothing's a given, though.

Nice nanny Germ!

Had one blow on me. [:@] It was a great spot but a bad stand location. I didn't set it up,
beggars can't be choosers and I didn't have enough time to trim a tree and move the climber.

Anyway, it is dead still out there. I'm still as can be standing for about 15 minutes straight. I slowly
move to wipe some sweat out my eye and not 30 yards away it's blow, blow, blow. I'm thinking she was
on to me (maybe scent b/c no wind) and moved to a spot where she could see out of the woods
but I couldn't see into. It was probably the only place I could've been busted visually w/o having a shot.

Gonna get back after it Wednesday afternoon after work.
