Well back out again for another try in a different location. The wife's uncle found this spot and said we stand a chance. I told him that as long as I don't have to hear my wife gripe and complain about stuff, I'm down for anything as long as it doesn't involve being home ๐.

This is how I found my arrow this morning. For a second I thought maybe I missed because the lighted nock came off and flew to the right making it look like the arrow had been deflected but I was pretty sure I saw the exit hole when the deer was running and I did. I was able to screw the arrow off and take it home.

I'm in here behind the house in a ladder stand. First time hunting my new property, at least with me being the shooter. I'm not expecting much, but this is a very low impact in/out stand and the wind is right for it.

Seen 2 separate does trot by. No antlers yet. I looked down and realized I hadn't connected my harness to the tree. That's the second time I've done that this season. Not good.

That's the most important step when you reach your tree. I know. I fell a few years back. I wear a harness every time now. I guess I'm too distracted this year for some reason.

I'm gonna wrap it up here in an hour or so. Gonna go home and light the grill and fire pit and have a few beverages and continue to kick myself for the events that took place this morning.

I can hear my wife mowing the yard from my stand. That's a good woman right there.

I can't say I know how it feels. I hunt on the ground and the 1 concern on my mind when I enter the woods is I hope I don't get shot by some hunt by the seat of the pants hunter ๐

I know this isn't the right place for this post but is anyone interested in a crossbow. Apparently bow hunting isn't a skill I have anymore ๐. I had a doe come in on me on the edge of a very thick thicket patch. I heard her coming through there for at least 20 minutes. She gets about 30 yards from me and starts doing the bobblehead motion then she processed to stomp her foot all while looking at me. This goes on for what seemed minutes, then she blows and goes back the direction she came from.
