Well the first day in the woods came and went without a single deer sighted. I hunted my Shinewell lease both morning and evening and didn't see anything other than squirrels, birds and a raccoon.

The only thing that happened worth noting was that sometime during my walk out that morning or my walk in that night, I must've caught my sight on a limb or bush.

As you can see by the pic, it broke the fiber optics on my 30 and 40 yard pin. And it also bent them slightly. Luckily, ...

After almost 12 hours in the woods, I just ...

Hunted The Last Oak Flat stand with my buddy Scott. I was planning on taking the evening off because another friend of mine was wanting to hunt our lease an hour north of here Sunday morning. That would mean getting up at 3:30 so I was going to rest this evening.
