This is how my morning ended up




Daughter wanted to come with me so we left the house at 5:00 am to make it to the property.

As we are pulling in the gate she says she wants to hunt somewhere she can lay down on the floor, which really leaves me no option but one. Wind is blowing out of the north, which isn’t ideal but I thought we would be good in that stand. Well we weren’t. Shortly after daylight a doe starts blowing at us. Saw a few deer further off but nothing came in. She was snoring and sniffling asleep on the floor…we ended up leaving shortly after the feeder went off at 8am.

Gonna try a better wind set up this afternoon

You have had so much success, you need someone to pump the brakes for you so the rest of us can kill some deer around here.

Good pic of what it's really all about.

This is gonna be the last season for "your" Boot Heel blind on my place. 'Gonna clear and put in a good, sleepable blind that faces north in the high, SE corner this coming spring. That'll give me two for a wind outa the north. The old one did teach me that packrats love to chew expandable foam to make a nice, snuggly nest around their inner, cedar bark nest.
