October 21st

I got out to a very nice chill morning! Walking in I saw a small black dot in the field just 5 feet or so off the road that I was walking. I got closer and turned on my flash light to see a SKUNK hunkered down waiting for me to pass. I stopped and tried to get a picture with my cell phone but the little bugger stood up and walked really fast to get away. I of course did not give chase to be sprayed by the little stink bomb. That is the first skunk that I have seen out there at that property. I have been hunting that spot for 12 years now and never seen one out there. Now to my hunt! It was getting light out and I was not seeing anything. Then I saw two heads in the CRP grass. They where walking the same path as all the others from the other day. I did not see anything the rest of the day. I got down and went to see where they where crossing river at to see if maybe I could hang another stand. There is a very beat down path and not one tree that I can hang a stand in. I decided that I might give my ground blind a try to see what I can do. I have never shot a deer out of my ground blind. Time will tell!
