Hey Guys, i have been slammed since arriving back from Solana and honestly there were so many events that happened to other folks I have been enjoying sitting back and watching this unfold.

Here are a few more pics from the first day as we prepared for our first hunts.

Lots of thought in these conversations.

Love that bayonet in Skyler's boot! :p

That boy has more knives than an old time hardware store and he got himself a brand new one on this trip

My First Nights Stand and First Morning were in the same stand.

Both in the evening and in the morning i saw 4 Does. The first night they were being pursued by a pretty decent Buck but none of them came closer than 75 to 80 yards. Now i gotta tell ya. that buck was darn nice. From that distance it had me thinking. But then again i am a bit spoiled from last year. So i didn't give it another thought. Until later that night.

On the next morning the same does came in an feed around the feeder but it was terrible still that morning and i am pretty sure the doe that was at 10 yards heard me blink and they eventually spooked off. Sure wish i could have seen that buck again.

Second Night, I get a tree on the edge of a ravine and a large field up on a plateau. Robert tells me there are several bucks who frequent this area. One in particular is called "Big Red". All he says is that i will recognize him when he shows up.

A little video of my thoughts right after i get settled in this tree. Funny thing is that "Big Red" is not even going through my mind when i did this vid. OK guys, be easy on the critique. Turn the volume waaaaay up.

As I sat in that stand, i realized that i hadn't put on enough cloths to keep me warm. Heck it was almost 70 degrees when i crawled into the stand and the temperature was starting to drop. I figured i might put on an extra layer that i had strategically placed on the tree limb behind me. Wouldn't ya know as i was all contorted around trying to reach for my shirt, 7 bucks walked in undetected and started to feed all around the feeder.

I had some special arrows left from last years hunt that i was bound and determined to use them. This particular arrow was used in last years hunt, this past summer froggin with Skyler and Don in Alabama and on a hog hunt with Larry Surtees in SC.

"Big Red showed up but never presented a shot. There was one other shooter, a 5 pointer, two fork horns, two spikes, and a button buck. Still, i am judging bucks compared to the past. Decided not to take a shot. And enjoyed the show.

Hey Guys, i am on a boys weekend. That means the wife is away and i am trying to keep up with a 7 and 9 year old. I am going to get back posting this afternoon or this evening.

I will be explaining "Doing the Jack" or at least my rational tonight.

Thanks for the kind words !

One of the coolest things about this hunt is the ability to participate in the recover of others game animals. We had such a great car group. Being there for the tracking and recovery of Randy's buck was awesome.

Izzy · « **Reply #719 on:** February 05, 2012, 08:39:00 PM »

Boy, we had some laughs and did some learning about each others home turfs in that truck.

Poor Ol Sky, probably never heard a word of "Sage" advice us old timers were giving him, he was day dreaming about Sally back home. Or was it Suzy?
