Hope you guys get some relief from the heat - gonna be in the high 80's here for a while.

Well, I squared away a spot for opening week - should get 2 or 3 afternoons in next week after work
(opening is Monday) and will hit that spot the weekend of Oct. 13th. Only costs me some beer.
I missed a doe there last year, so I'm hoping to at least do that.

Next weekend (Oct. 6th), will hunt hard pretty much all day Sat and Sun. on my family land. Good news
is food plots were planted about 2 weeks ago (we planted late this year b/c of no rain in past 2 years)
and we apparently timed it right cause we've been getting good rains.

Got a secret spot that has not been hunted back in the woods where a ditch and canal meet and the
canopy opens up. Deer sign everywhere. Can't wait to sneak back in there. The spot is below the "Clear
Cut Woods" (which we didn't cut this year - thank God), if you go to that bottom right corner. The newly
bushogged trail to that area comes all the way from the North side of those woods and runs almost down
the middle of that tract. The wind usually blows out of the N or NE. I'm thinking of going only when it's
as much out of the East as possible. Do you think this would be a better morning or evening stand location?
I'm thinking I might bump a lot of deer trying to get back there in the morning, especially since they feed in
that clover and CRP and crop. But if I get past them it could work.

I know this is a long post, but I'm bored waiting for the season to open.
