Good job on the recovery Jeff !

Only thing I got this morning was stomped at. [:@] Amazing how they can be right there and not see em. I looked all around before I decided to get out of my tree and didn't see a thing. I un-nocked my arrow and was putting back in the quiver when out of nowhere I hear some stomping. I look to my right and there she is trying to figure out what moved in that tree. She stomped a few more times. Came a bit closer. Couple more stomps. Then resumed eating and slowly walked off. The fawn looked for a little while after and then turned and went with momma. Guess I better stay out of that tree for a bit.

This working late sucks. At least today is the last one this week.Altho it is too hot to hunt anyway if I did get off early, it is supposed to be around 90* or above till the middle of next week. I hate hunting in the heat, all sweated up by the time I am in the stand.[:'(]I may hunt the mornings this weekend, before it gets too bad. Not sure about the afternoons.

I gotta get over to IL sometime this weekend, and check things out there. The guy who rents the house on the farm I hunt runs a small archery shop. I heard he had 3D tourney on the farm this weekend. If he had people wandering around in the woods I hunt, I may be hunting him![:@]I sure hope he had it in the fields and not the woods. Those deer will be long gone if a mob was in their woods. Me and this guy do not get along too good. When he first moved on the farm, he asked me where I hunted so he could stay away. So I told him where I put my stands. Next year he had stands 50 - 75 yards from mine. I rarely talk to him anymore. I sure don't tell him where I hunt anymore.

Rob, I know what you mean. For not haveing the latest camo design those deer do a pretty darn good job of being invisible. Specially if they don't move. Ever see one standing in the woods and look away and not be able to find it again untill it moves.

Rob and John, I like when they appear out of nowhere. Which is often!
Although I prefer to hear or catch some early movement, it is cool to just be kind of drifting off
and bam, there's a deer 25 yards in front of you. Get's your heart going.

Troy, how's the Elk hunt with Hiawatha? Any luck?

GMMAT, you taking a couple off?

Kenny, is you're account working now?

Germ, I'll be waiting on those "In the Tree" segments. Hopefully, they involve whitetails.

Tyler, hope you got rid of the trespassers.

Hunt'm Up and Huntinglady, anything new?

This weekend I'm going do some 3-D shooting (not competitive), gonna work with my rangefinder
and make sure everything is just right.

I had one run across our private drive about 20 yds ahead of me and stop about five yds in the woods. Saw right where she went in and it was all I could do to find her standing there.

Yep I got the account back going. Good luck to all. Im so ready to hunt. I have to wait till Oct 1st. Bummer...

Thanks.....it EXHAUSTED me.

Yeah, JM.....I just need a couple of days to not be in the woods. Funny....isn't it? I just feel really good, right now....and I don't miss it, immediately. I KNOW I am already looking forward to going back in re-charged, on Saturday. Nowhere to be.....I have the entire day to get everything "just right"......just a great feeeling of something to look forward to. To be honest.....events this week mentally and physically drained me. I'm saddling back up, though.

Troy????? I need my fix! What's going on????

Germ....Sorry I didn't call you. I will, today. I took my family out to dinner last night....and it was wonderful. Sorry I missed you.....but good luck and be safe.

To the rest of the team......keep the stories coming.

Jeff did you bust one. I guess I missed it if ya did. Sorry man, congrats if ya did...

This weekend is gonna suck. It is supposed to be 90* both days. I might just hunt the mornings. I do have one stand down in a valley by the creek. That might be cool enough to hunt without sweating up the woods. Maybe they will miss the forecast. It sure wouldn't be the first time they were wrong.

Hey captain, is it this hot down in KY too?

We can only hope they miss the forecast. I sweated my butt off tonight shooting.

Not sure about them, but I am 200 miles east of there and it's 90 here ![:-]
