Didn't make it out last weekend, so snuck away from work a little early for the cold front. Got down in time to check some cards and make the afternoon hunt. It is a breezy 96 degrees, but there is a north wind, which is what I need to hunt the stand that has a buck coming in that I really want to put my eyes on. He is a nice ten with good mass, but looks older in some pics and younger in others. I have yet to get a good clear picture of him. There are 3 other very nice eights, but not sure if they are shooters yet. I have two doe and two yearling feeding in front of me and waiting for one of the big boys to show up.

Good luck! Be careful. Watch out for snakes. About stepped on a small rattler last Saturday night after walking out from the evening hunt. Then we killed about a three footer Sunday morning.

Good luck!!! So far all I've seen the last few days is does with fawns, a baby buck with 3" spikes and a mature heavy 8 point which I couldn't get a clean shot on!!!
