I've got my stuff ready and headed to the blind in a little bit then going to set up shop at the bottom of an oak tree. Pack-Rack and bag: check. Grunt, wheeze, roar, bleet, buck fart: check. New grim-reapers and what's left of my Rage 2-blades: check. Let me get ready and I'll have a live hunt here in a couple of hours......almost forgot.....patience in all of my pockets: check. Y'all call-in at work and come along.

And it appears there is a front a-blowin' in as we speak. Lows of 35 maņana and a cool 29 on Friday morning. It's gonna be a good day, Tater.

I got bit of a late start bit scared a decent buck on te way to the blind. It's a buddy's blind who rifle hunts so no pressure here at all. I now know the difference between a blind and a bow-blind......

Looks like plenty of corn under that feeder Pictures can be deceiving, but that feeder looks a little far for a bow shot... Good hunt or bad hunt, beats sitting in the office. Good luck!!!

My buddy isn't very conservative with his corn but it's not piled up....the ground is pretty beat up from the critter action. If there ain't no deer here, ain't no deer anywhere.

Been a slow morning so I slipped out and got a snack. Haven't seen anything else besides that little 8. The win is howling and swirling in my little shooting lanes. Eastland county are the stomping grounds.

I might have to arm-wrestle the sqirrels for the corn. It's painfully slow here for some odd reason. It might be a long year......
