Wind: SE light
This morning Danny and I bow hunted together for the very first time. I dropped Danny off at "James' Stand" on my way to "Baker's Stand" on the south side of the property. There was a slight chill in the air and a layer fog hovered about thirty feet off the ground. About ten minutes before day light, something ran behind me down the fence line into the woods. It sounded too big to be a rabbit, but too small to be a deer. I am guessing a raccoon or coyote. Either way, it was the highlight of the hunt. At 8:30, a guy on a four wheeler came driving down the fence line, turned south and drove along the corn strip. He had camo on, however I couldn't tell if he had a bow or a shotgun with him. There's a good chance he was sitting in the ladder stand just up the hill from Baker's Stand on the neighbor's property. I am guessing he didn't see any deer either! Danny had an encounter with a large opossum while sitting in his stand. James put this stand up towards the end of last season and so it got little use. It is in a promising spot right about Doc's Rock on the edge of the South Woods.
