Scot,

Good luck on your rifle hunt. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable time. So far this year has been disappointing to me. I'm hoping the rest of this week is a turn around. I'm taking tomorrow thru Friday off and besides duck hunting Saturday and travel time to the Eastern Shore Friday I will be in a tree the rest of the time.

I'm going to hunt a stand site that during pre-season showed a lot of sign. It's near a swamp and there was a lot of sign before season. In the afternoon I'm heading to the oak stands and hope the doe pull me in a buck. Thursday I'm torn between going to a friend's property on the Eastern Shore that shot a nice 9 yesterday or continue to persue the bucks on the area that I've been hunting.

I'm just hoping my back stops bothering me. I didn't hunt Saturday because of the trouble i had getting out of the tree the weekend before.
