Cool pics John,

It is very non-Chaos like around here, so I figured I would post something even though it is probably
boring and uneventful.

Hunted all day Saturday on 3 different stands, saw two (2) young deer, but not what I was looking for.
A father and son (about 11) hunted our 2 sure fire stands - clover plot and pipeline and saw over 20 deer,
shot at 4 and hit and killed 3 - one doe, one button buck, and one spike. That boy was so excited (he
got 2 of them). I wasn't up for doe hunting, but still got to help clean. Dad also got a nice 137 lb. doe
(a ton of fat on that deer). Best of all for my dad, no deer tracking and his shoulder is holding up.

I was hunting the 10 point in the morning, got in my stand about 25 minutes before shooting, but still
think I spooked him (he's hanging out in this area in the morning) or another big deer getting on
stand (very loud crashing). Yet another lesson - next time will be on stand even earlier. Then hunted
another buck stand for about 2 hours (nothing), then went back in the woods to a very small clearing with
a load of sign. Found a good tree and got my climber in place (new spot), settled in early 2:30 and
a slow mist/drizzle began to fall. Everything was PERFECT. I had that feeling, but the hunting Gods are
still mad at me for the last blown opportunity they gave me, and they only sent a little doe my way.

All in all, a good day, took 4 deer off the place (got some meat even though I didn't kill), and got to hang
out with my dad and brother.

I'll be back at it for Thurs. p.m., and probably Fri. and Sat. Got tons of work to try to wrap up for the
short week so it will be light posting here.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone - count your blessings and hopefully partake of God's great
bounty by taking some nice deer.
