That's the worst part guys, I forgot to mention. I keep my boots in the garage (maybe they got some dog smell on them) but on the way out there I spray down with scent eliminator, then there's a small creek I cross. I stand in 1.5 ft of water and wiggle my boots in to the sand to try and wash them a little, then proceed. After all that she smelled my trail. I was down wind of her so she didn't smell me, just my trail. I guess she instinctively looked down wind.

I was about 20 ft. up the tree, can't go much higher or I'll cut out all of my shooting lanes.

They were headed out to the acorns so next time I go to that spot I'm taking my climber and sitting out by the oak trees. If I tag her then I'll feel better about that stand.
