Hunting a spot I found yesterday on Bankhead NF. Got the rain I needed to wash my scent out of here and a good wind. There's a buck hanging around somewhere. Maybe he'll come my way.

Just had a shooter about 30 yards behind me but it was too thick for a shot

I decided to give it a rest in Michigan but will go back in a couple of weeks for blackpowder deer season. Was getting burned out hunting from 5:00 AM wake up to 5:30 PM sundown

Good luck

Set up on a creek crossing with 4-5 year old planted pines on either side of me. So far today I left my harness in my truck, so had to go back for it; then I climbed and was about set up only to realize I dropped my release, had to climb back down to find it. Finally set up now. Good luck and stay safe.
