Amen to that! Here in VA i don't get to find many of those spots...especially huntin on Quantico base
Hoytspeed--considering we hunt the same base, I truly understand where you are coming from...it can be tough as heck.
Last week I speed scouted an area on Thursday. Something felt real good about that spot. I snuck back in with the wind in my face Friday afternoon at 12 noon. At 3 pm, I texted my wife and said, "I have a feeling about this spot babe"....less than 60 seconds later a buck walks by 50 yards upwind of me. I couldn't believe it. That was the first time in the first two weeks of season that I actually expected to see deer. So far for me....7 sits and seen 6 deer. Been tough.
