Prime looking spot Yoder.

This particular stand is my #2.  I've only taken one buck from it.  But I'm fairly selective.  I've let a trailer load of really nice deer.walk on past.  It's a great location.

Gonna hunt my #1 starting Saturday.  I'll get some 360 degree pics of that one posted up.

Same thing here in the piedmont of South Carolina. Just about all our tracks are either deserts (fresh cutovers) or short pines.  Very few hardwoods left to hunt unless they are in the bottoms where it's too wet to log.

They just got done clear cutting almost my whole lease in Georgia.  Some of them pines werent even ten years old.  Must be a high demand on pine right now.

Hunted my #1 stand yesterday.  Freakin' COLD !!!!!  This stand is on a ridgetop, looking out onto a big flat.  It's the windiest place I hunt...………..and it was 22 degrees when I got in, yesterday.  Spent 11 1/2 hours there, yesterday.  Covered up in deer and turkeys ALL DAY.

Gonna do 6 days straight of 11 1/2 hour sits...……….unless a mature deer does something dumb before then.

Thanks !!!

There's a reason it's my #1.  Four of the bucks on my wall have come from this stand, including my only P&Y deer.  This is just one of THOSE locations...……….

I think I saw 8 different bucks yesterday...……...plus a flock of 13 turkeys which flew down into bow range and were within 5-6 yards coming back around in the afternoon.  Trying to get a little video of them to upload to my Flickr account, but it won't go...…...
