DAY 1 RECAP: MISSED BUCK.RECOVERED MY ARROW BUT DIDN'T FIND ANY BLOOD. DAY 2 RECAP: DIDN'T SEE SQUAT...FELL OUT OF MY TREESTAND TRYIN' TO SAVE MY CAMERA FROM DROWNING IN THE WATER BELOW ME...WENT TO THE FREAK ZONE AND IT'S STILL UNDERWATER. :cry: DAY 3: HUNTED THE SAME AREA AGAIN AND DIDN'T SEE SQUAT AGAIN. LEFT MY AREA TO MEET HM TO PURSUE SOME PIGGIES WHICH ALSO TURNED OUT TO BE A BUST. DID HAVE AN ALLIGATOR BOUT 6FT. CROSS LIKE 75YDS DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME WHICH WAS KINDA COOL. LAID IN AN ANT HILL AND DIDN'T KNOW IT ...UNTIL I GOT UP AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE....AMAZING BUT THEY NEVER BIT ME. HM WAS FREAKIN' OUT. STARTED TO THINK THAT I MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED HARDER FORA BLOODTRAIL JUST IN CASE. IT WAS EATIN' ME UP BIGTIME. DAY 4: SET HM UP CLOSE TO WHERE I WAS HUNTIN' BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING TO TRAIL MY CRITTER IF I DIDN'T HAVE TIME. I WAS ONLY HUNTIN' UNTIL 10 ISH BECAUSE I HAD TO COME TO WORK. SET UP AT MY LOCATION AND LISTENED TO THE OWLS GOING OFF FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER...WAY COOL...KEPT RELIVING THURSDAYS HUNT AND WISHIN' I'D SEARCHED HARDER....HATE THAT FEELING. IT WENT AWAY ABOUT 9 ISH WHEN MY BUCK CAME CRUISIN' BY. HE WAS OUT OF RANGE...ABOUT 60YDS. BUT I WAS THRILLED JUST TO SEE HIM....MADE MY WHOLE DAY. NOW I'M AT WORK UNTIL 2300...FUN FUN.

At least you're seeing deer. I had some snort at me opening morning and havent seen anything since. And Ive hunted 3 different stands. Its a good thing you only hunt 12 ft up. Be carefull.

I hunted Sat. and Sunday and didn't see any deer. Half my stand sights are 2ft deep in water. Did find plenty of tracks and a few fresh rubs. I do have a new honeyhole for skeeters though if anyone is interested in hunting skeeters.

Stay after 'em FL. One'll come your way.
And be careful in that stand. You fall out and you might drown.
