I saw a buck last night. I walked up on him on my way in, I had my climber on my back and looked over and said whoa thats a deer. He was feeding and never knew I was there. He was 40 yards. Nice wide, I dunno spike? He had a good spread out past the ears but I couldn't put a tine on'em anywhere. I just snuck off in the opposite direction. It wasa new area..I wasn't happy with my stand placement at all but time was limited and I had to pick a tree. So on stand I saw nothing but A racoon squirrels and about a zillion chipmunks.

These winds are sooo screwy this year we should be predominantly from the NNW...We are getting S SW yesterday was East and todat is South East! Thats why I'm doing so much stand jumping..and it really has me confused. Again today, I had a good plan for tonight but it doesn't jive with this wind!
