Isn't a front coming through Saturday? Seems cooler this year, to me. I don't do the morning much anymore and it takes a few days to really get in gear for actual hunting. Whole lot to do from now until after Christmas. I do love it though. Be a bad day when I wont be able to go. It be's that way sometimes. www.sunpoolcompany.com

Long range forecast showing rain here and that could change my plans. Also got to address the question �Will I shoot a doe if I see one?� Game day decision on that. “Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.” On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”
