John,

Sorry to hear your gonna be a little bit tight on time with the upcoming opener, but like you said, I am sure you'll get your time in the woods! Man best of luck it sounds like your getting all your gear and final preperations lined out.

I'm sitting here in my office on lunch break (tator soup and chicken sandwhich) thinking about tonights hunt. This will be the second time I hunt the 4x5 stand and were he came down through on Sunday. I hope he shows this evening. I am gonna race home (45 minutes from work) and then jump in the shower..thenin the dodge and head to his spot..another 45 minutes....bout a 1/2 mile hike in.. He uses a the top of a big ridge and the hike is straight up about 300 yardsto get in from the right directon. Day 8 of the whitetail season..

Talk to you guys this evening...when I get home..bout 10 pm my time.. Actually I hope its more like Midnight..
