What a busted morning. I had ordered a bunch of Cherry and Walnut a while back, and they were going to truck deliver it. But days passed with no delivery. I was up in my tall blind this morning, opening morning, having been there since about 5:45, and about 7:30 I see a big truck coming this way. From that blind I can see some of the road he used. Seriously….not today…not right now. But yes, so I hustle back to the house and there he is. Grump grump grump!
And by the way, Cherry is pretty cheap per board foot, but Walnut is really expensive.
If I thought the rut was on, I’d go back to the blind, but I don’t think it is yet. I may go anyway. Got coffee in the thermos, and a good book.
Hope your morning was better than mine.

Things happen, I would get back out there if I were you.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

That's how it works. I'm lining plumbers out from the blind this morning, but that's okay because I can't see 25 yards in front of me from the dang ground steaming in the sun

Thanks for the cherry wood tip. I am starting a remodel and need some plank lumber. Good luck hunting, I was going to be out today down in Frio county but something came up hopefully later this week.

Red Cloud, I got the wood from Dakota Premium Hardwoods in Waco, but they ship from Dallas. They have several locations. I was shocked at the diff in price between Cherry and Walnut, but due to demands from the wife, I had to buy the Walnut.
I did go back to the stand. Shot a coyote (see varmint section) and watched a real sleek fat 6 point eat every kernel of corn thrown by my feeder. Took him an hour.
