I should be in bed but am too pumped!! The Game begins at 6:20 AM tomorrow...eeerrrr... today. Tyler is geared up too but finally hit the sack at midnight. Boy is he excited about his first hunt.

We will be hunting the corner of a corn field... kitty corner to a 15 acre alflafa hay field that is green and lush from the last cutting. No trees so we will be using a natural ground blind or in other words...we will be hiding in the corn. LOL There is a decent buck there. If he shows up Tyler has first dibbs at 20 yards and under. I got dibbs from 20 to 35 yards unless Tyler can/wants to put a stalk on him. He's been practicing on the cotton tails, cats and dogs in town here this summer. Would be great to see him try a stalk on a deer. There is no rush known to man as good as stalking within 20 yards of a buck nor no worse feeling when you blunder. It would be one education he will never forget.

I've got to be at work at 9 AM but if it isn't fit for combining, I am done at 1 PM. We got the evening hunt already plan should that happen. It is in our honey hole. Did some last minute scouting tonight from a far. Glass a 140 class buck heading up the trail to Tyler's stand. Bucks should be thinking about shedding their velvet. Our stands are in the only trees in that immediate area. Should be a good time tomorrow night. The does also like Tyler's stand area. I made him pick all his tree stand areas as I want him to think for himself with some guidance from me. We talked deer since he was 6 and he knows more about them then I did when I was 25 ( He's 13 ). He has chosen very good spots but that one will be a toughy with all the does. It will be interesting to see if he can get through the night without getting busted. Another educational experience at the very least, I'm thinking with the ladies!! LOL Gawd, it is going to be great no matter what the out come!! Bring it on!!
