I was going to say "If I swing by Saturday night, how late is too late?"
There's my answer. I'll probably run over after we get the kiddo in bed. He's usually out by about 9PM.

Set my stand yesterday mid afternoon 35yrds east of a couple day old, fairly fesh deer scrape on top of a big ass hill with a good oak flat all around it.
I got settled in my stand early this mornin, about quater-til six. No sooner I sit down, i hear a deer just to my west near the scrape. Too early and too dark yet to tell what it was.
@7:45 a.m., I see a good buck coming up the hollar below me, from the south, hits the edge of private property just to my SE, then turns S-SE further away. He got as close as 60-65 yards. I would've shot'em if I had the chance.
Sticken around a bit longer this morning, perhaps until after the noon hour to see if he shows back up. He has no clue that I'm in the area.
Suppose to be a good day all day for hunting and not just because the weather. Prime-Times suggest it also.
Good luck to all the Stroud crew that's out hunting this morning.
Mid of top pic is where I got a real good view of this morning public buck.

Home safe and sound. Now to get a few hours of rest and then write up my post.
What a great, well needed, weekend! Thanks fellas for the great time.
Thanks to everyone!
I really needed this escape. It was awesome to see everyone.
Thank you Dan for all the breakfast. Thanks Denny for the deer roast it turned out great. All the food provided was spot on. Cannot say enough about it all.
Was a blast sitting around the fire and listening to Cotty play the guitar.
Look forward to the next one.

Had a great weekend spending time with friends and family! Ate and drank like kings and had my hands on some dandy glorious deer antlers as well! Congratulations to Dan on his first public land buck/deer this weekend and to Chuck for killing his #1 hit lister that was a STUD of a deer to boot. Also congrats to Adam on his doe and anyone else who got a deer.
The food was fantastic and the company even better! Safe travels to all on their drives back home. The weather was perfect for Strouds this year as well! Great time for sure.....
