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.

After almost 12 hours in the woods, I just

Scott called on his way home from work and talked me into going with him. He at first wanted to go to some public land that he hunts, but I talked him into to going to my family's property.

We didn't get on stand
