Well, tomorrow has become today. Survived babysitting two of my grandkids last night and was up bright and early. First day started out as do many - spooked one near my stand on the way in.
Stayed in until almost ten and saw a total of a dozen does and fawns. No bucks. Could have taken a shot at a lone fawn, sans spots, but passed. Also one bear which isn't a surprise at all.
Also dispelled a myth. One that concerns contaminating one's hunting area with one's call of nature. Emergency dismount from my tree stand about ten minutes after getting set up and could only make it about twenty-five yards away before the much needed stop. Had four of the aforementioned animals within ten yards, or less, of my deposit and showed absolutely no indication of anything suspicious. Had to be a fair amount of odoriferous fumes emanating from the site. Perhaps this is an anomaly but one was a very mature doe which I am sure knew her way around as she had two fawns with her. Your experience might be different.
Heading out again in the morning. Looks like it could be a very good year. Especially after the brutal (for us) winter here in NJ.
