Saw lots of deer in my imagination this morning as I sat at the work blind.
Did get out this afternoon. Got to hunt my piece of property for the first time. Headed out around 3. Found an old shed on the way in, which I took as a good omen. Eased my way back an old logging trail with the climber looking for just the right spot. As I started back toward the tree I wanted to be in, a real nice 8pt crested the ravine 10 yds from said tree. We locked eyes for a second as I cursed still having my climber on my back, then he scurried off kicking up 2 bedded doe in the process about 100yds out. Didn't see anything once I actually got into the tree. Was a nice cool evening to be out. Good luck out there. Stay safe!
