I went to a spot back behind the house I hadn't hunted yet. It was a perfect wind for this setup. Taking my scent out over the 50 foot dropoff to the creek.It is an oak ridge above the creek back there. On the way in I see lots of fresh dropping and a couple of rubs. I am pumped and ready for action. But no deer tonight. I did find out I need to clear my shooting lanes out again. I hadn't gotten around to clearing this stand yet.

A view over the cliff, where my scent was headed.


To my left where the oaks are, and I need to retrim my lanes.

Behind me and right, the thick stuff, bedding area.
