Took him to my favorite little morning spot....and we saw NADA! The turkey chatter was worth the price of admission, though.

This evening....I put him on the ridge where I first spotted my only mature buck of the season. Again....he saw nothing. I had THE buck of the season (same deer I spotted earlier.....near the end of Oct.) at 22-23yds....and I needed him to come 3-4 more stepd to offer a shot. I was at full draw for 30-40 seconds....and it just didn't work out. Quite an encounter, though.....and we'll be back at it in the morning.

Hopefully we'll have something interesting to post up.

Funny.....Will being from CO....and coming to our NC temps....the amount of discrepancy in the way we dressed for our morning hunt was drastically different to say the least. Think Michelin man v. spiderman.

22.7deg. when we walked to stand.
