Lets roll!

First afternoon I sat perched on limb that made a pretty good seat, but not much in the way of foot stabilty. Before getting out of the truck, Michael offered up his seat cushion to me. I declined...first off I didn't want him to be uncomfortable...secondly, I figured my backside was pretty tuff.
Half hour into my hunt, I figured out I wasn't as tuff as I thought I was...I was in agony!
But the deer were already moving, seemingly all around me...so that really helped.
Then it was much longer that I got the same text as the others from Gregg that he'd drilled a big 8pt!
Yee ha! We were off to a fine start!!
My afternoon hunt ended with several bucks sighted, including a good 7pt, and a good 8pt...probably 20 deer sighted all together...a great first evening hunt.
Back at camp...Gregg and guide John...

Next morning found me in an extremely comfortable treestand. As it got lighter I found that I was in a familiar stand that I'd hunted one afternoon, 3yrs. prior. First light I had a beautiful high tined 8pt parallel me at about 30yds.. Right away I could tell it was a buck that had my interest. I thought for sure he was coming in so I could get a better look and decide if I wanted to take a shot if offered.
He never did come in...

A half hour later he re-appeared 100yds away with another, much smaller buck. I think he was a 4pt. This time I figured they weren't coming as they headed to my downwind side....they quickly disappeared.
It was an absolutely beatiful morning filled with more squirrel activity than I've ever seen hunting Solana...those big Fox squirrels are quite comical.
Some camera time...My custom KUIU pink Vias camo Onstringer wraps...

Don sent a text that said they were on the way. So as I was packing up my gear I looked out and saw an armadillo crossing about 100yds. out.
I'd wanted to try out the 2 blade VPA Penetrator I carried in my quiver and thought...lets go see what it'll do...
Shot from about 10yds., hit about 2/3's of the way back one side, out tight to leg on other and smashed into the rocky soil after exit...
