I went opening day and it was god awful hot.. I haven't been back in the woods due to work obligations and travel. After this weekend it opens up a bit more and I look forward to getting back in the tree...

Had last Fri. off so I did go to FishingBay and do a A.M. hunt . I didn't use the boat but used the bike to get way back . The first thing was NO BUGS , I was on high ground and no bugs so it started off good and it just got better . I didn't go deep in the frag , got just off the edge so I could see better . Was only in the stand for 45 min. and saw the first hind , only sat untill 10:30 and saw 4 hinds and 2 small stags . Could have shot 2 of the hinds but one was walking with that little tail stuck stright out so I'm thing BAIT . So a great hunt but no meat .

Bugs are really spotty. I tried to hit Blackwater last week one morning and skeeters were so bad when I got out of the Jeep, within 5 seconds I saw more than I've seen all summer. Wrapping up work rest of this week, but next week I'll start on 'em.

Been over to FishingBay 2 times one A.M. and one P.M. sit . For the A.M. sit I saw 2 small stags and 4 hinds , And I only saw 2 hinds for the P.M. The one thing I didn't see was sketters . Idon't use spray and I didn't fire up the cell even down to dark . Only heard 3 bugle and that was far away .

Got out yesterday morning. 47 degrees, too cold for bugs, heard some bugling in the distance, saw three on the walk in while dark, one went under me in the dark and might have heard/seen one small one later splashing through some grass 100 yards out. Lots of water, woods were flooded and even a fairly high old field had 6" of water on most of it. Waiting for the next cool morning again now...

I sure hope they are bugling like crazy next week.. I would be happy to see a couple at this point but would love for the boys to hear them sound off on next friday when we are in the stand together.. Maybe do some calling and get one to step out in the open for the boys to fire at..
