I was out scouting today also for a couple of hours. No bugs at all and I didn' t even spray myself. I found me a spot to put a stand for opening day. Lotsa tracks near a corn field and one set in partiular is HUGE. I hope I see the deer that made ' em. I think I' m gonna put up a ladder stand tomorrow or Monday and not go back until opening day in the afternoon. The spot is an island of trees in the middle of a corn field. I can get there quietly by walking a tractor path to a narrow break in the middle of the corn field that leads to the trees. There is also a large patch of grass that is wet where the farmer couldn' t plant and the tracks follow the edge of the corn around the grass and right past the group of trees. I just hope the corn isn' t picked by then. It' s pretty tall now with full ears. One hope is they move to the soy bean field next to the corn after it' s picked. Keeping my fingers crossed!
