I hear you loud and clear Silent. The tree is about 4 1/2 hours from my home and I didn't get to the tree until about 8:00. That was my bad. Two days later I got buck fever after cutting a hugh track and following it less then 50 yards to a huge rub. I did finally catch up with the buck which looked to be a good 8 outside the ears but he sensed me comming and I just didn't have a shot at the bounding buck with my bow.

If I learned something it is to stick to you game plan. Had I done that I may have gotten a shot that day but I wouldn't have found the new stand location. Regardless it was a good day in the woods.
