Well, my first hunt came and went with no success. Saturday and Sunday morning, I was on the stand almost a full hour before first light. Both mornings, I had deer walking by me in the dark, but by first light, there was no activity at all. I did have a coyote that came through a few times. I also had a hawk land on a dead branch five yards from my head. That was pretty awesome. He kept looking at me trying to figure out what I was. I guess the ASAT 3D suit works pretty well.
I did find out one thing though.... the chiggers are alive and well in Missouri. I'm pretty miserable, but I guess it's the price you pay for hunting the early season.[:@]
