It had to be crazy loud and you guys are telling me I made the right decision. I ain't above shooting one off the porch.

You are a liar. Maybe for standing. But sitting they are made for you tall guys! And they don't make phone books anymore for my chair.

Loudest morning of the year! Might have cost me the buck I was after. Was about 10 steps from where I wanted to be when I heard leaves rustling. One sounded like a squirrel, the other like a human walking. I listened for a bit, was comfortable it wasn't deer, then took two more steps. Poof! There's goes a good buck from the "squirrel noise" and deep blowing from the "human noise". M'fer. Stood in the same spot for another 30 minutes waiting for a shot, but didn't hear any. Had 5 does come in and present beautiful shots before the biggest one saw me (she for sure saw the orange blob). Had meat been the mission, I'd be done. Moved to the next spot and will sit here until I get cold. Looking over that hill, I'm not sure how committed I am to my next two spots. I may end up back at the truck by 9:30, grab Micky Ds and take the long way home!
Ease in. Bumped one. Can see farther than I had anticipated from this stand with leaves off. One slowly moved thru at light. Saw another 100-150yds away thru the trees in some CRP. Heard one shooter empty a couple rounds way off. Chipmunks have been the only real active animal.

30+ squirrels. No deer here. Time for bacon making, Browns, and Beer.
There's the crack of dawn cold and then there's the crack of sunlight when the thermals start rising. I'm overlooking the bottom and the sun just cracked the wood line enough for that cold creek bottom air to start pulling uphill. Dropped another 10 degrees!

6 does and an 8pt that bedded 70 yards away. Two of those does were ancient and tried their best to bust me. Fortunately they didn’t. Haven’t even been able to enjoy my coffee yet and might piss my pants if this buck doesn’t leave. Actually not as cold as I thought it would be this morning.

Lol it wasn’t cool today. Had to piss sitting down. Damn button buck walked under my stand in the process. Pretty stupid he never freaked out.
This will be my "old man" spot some day. Can practically drive to it, have the sun at your back all day and with a nice mowed lane or two, will have good shooting. Add a feeder down there and it's about as good a spot as I have for the late season.

Only had one bullet ricochet by me today. Not bad.

Dropped a nice doe this morning around 830. Getting ready to push a big ravine that was logged this year for the property owner and his brother. I told him to have 911 ready on speed dial for me

Hunting a flat farm for once. Nice change of pace - can see a ways! Foodplot here is destroyed! Hope deer use it in daylight. Not sure of what bucks might be here, so kind of fun just hunting to see what happens.
