My non hunting brother was off today and helped me carry a stand and sticks deep into the swamp. I hung the stand in the rain and quietly left marking my back trail with some tacks. I'm sitting in the stand in the AM...even though they call for scattered thunderstorms. Got about 600 yard walk in gooky stuff. Should be interesting. When we got to the spot I had scouted a few weeks earlier my brother ask, "Shouldn't there be a stop light on this intersection"? We'll see. I figure I get one or two chances before the smoke poles start going off all around me on Saturday.
