Same here Chris ...I learned alot from out hunt..

A. deer don't always make noise..the 2 deer I saw made zero noise so I've learnedto look harder and not always rely on sound.

B. I love hunting with a partner..I've always hunted alone.To be honest I would have left my stand at 9:00 and would have missed the sighting of the does..but Chris and I had commited ourselves to stay put to 10..plus he was bettr prepared and brought water..I honestly was beginning to feel dehydrated..

c. We also found anothergood spot..I diffently would not have done more scouting when I was finished hunting..I was exhausted from the hunt..A 2 1/4 mile walk through swamp is very tiring.

I'm looking forward toward next Sat. Chris..seeing deer pumps me up.
