Other than the heat....It's been a good season so far. I've seen 2 racked bucks, which is the earliest in the season I've ever seen one. I've had deer closer to me than I've ever had (5 feet at one point), I've deer under my stand for long periods of time.....My scent control is working beautifully....I'm refining my entry/exit routes....And I've had legitimate shots at 15 deer so far. Not bad for only hunting weekends.

The weather is much cooler, leaves are turning colors, flood waters have receded......It gets nothing but better from here out.
