Got up at 5:00 am. Went back to sleep. Can't hunt this afternoon, have to drive to Washington DC with my son for a hockey game. Will be out every afternoon and a couple of mornings next week.
 
Well we went, was out of the woods by 9am, saw deer up and about, 2 small rack 8s and 5 does. rains supposed to end according to accuweather this afternoon.
 
you're all wimps!!:D I went out this morning and got poured on. Before light I had 2 deer under my stand - but I dont know if they were does or bucks. around 8:30, I started hearing lots of shots coming from the field near my stand. they seemed real close so I was not comfortable sitting there. I left and went to another spot of public land to try to stalk a buck since the ground was wet. I got near 4 does but saw not bucks. lots of scrapes and rubs though[up] on my way driving out on a gravel road, I saw a small 4 pt hobbling accross the field at me. It looked like his front leg was broken. I got out of my truck and walked within 10 yds of him. I thought of shooting him to put him down but I didn't want to waste my buck tag yet. I felt real bad for him though- he was just hobbling down the road. Im not sure if he got shot, or if he might have gotten hit by a car. If hes still alive later in the season Ill shoot him

Well being of wildlife comes first. Thats are duty as stewards of the forest.

I was up at 5:00 and watched it Pour Rain. Turned on teh weather channel, and the radar showed heavy rain till noon. So that was that.

I have a party tonight. So no PM sit for me. Too bad-rain just stopped-it could be a great night with buck's freshing scrapes everywhere
