Nada
Went to the club on Saturday. I was alone and went to stand 13. It seems a bit more rickety than I would like but I got up anyway and sat from 2 until dark. I saw nothing at all

Friday!
Left work a bit early and hit behind the recycling center. Saw nothing but a bunch of squirrels.

I'm really a tree hugger
Went to the dump today in the morning. I got there around 5:15 and while I was climbing up the tree I heard something behind me. I was making noise and had a flashlight so surely it couldn't be a deer...must be a guy (or a bear) so i shined my (blue light) flashlight towards the sounds and there was a deer, literally 5 yards from me. I covered the light and hugged the tree. There was more than one and they walked around for a good 10 minutes while I hugged the tree. It sounded as though they walked down the hill and I finished my climb. When it got light, there was no sign of them, however. I saw nothing else either.

Buck from a distance
I took off work early to get some hunting in. Whew it was hot! I almost didn't go but did. I went to the club and wanted to sit at 5 (the road between the fields and first place I got a deer a the club). I sweat my ass off on my way into the stand but it was a nice, comfortable sit. I was facing the field so that, where I expected to see deer would be to my right. At approximately 5, I saw a (what a think was a) 4 pointer at the rock wall. It fed for a bit and then wanted to get out in a hurry. Did it see me? did it smell me? Not sure. The only other thing I saw was a guy with a power hang glider...that was pretty cool.

Opening day - 2015
It was a fairly uneventful day. The weather has been rainy the last day or two, but this morning it was clear and beautiful. Cooler than it had been lately. I went to the Recycling center and sat in Sam's tree. I had, a week earlier, set up a feeder and camera. I got into the tree at 5:30 and sat until 9:45 and saw nothing but squirrels. On the way out, I checked the feeder and swapped out cards. I went home for a siesta and checked the card. There doesn't seem to be a lot of action there but there was, on two occasions, a 7 or 8 point buck that is frequenting the area. So that got me juiced to get a doe.
For the afternoon, I decided to head to the club. I was the only one there and it was really threatening to rain. I got into 13, which has really grown in, and only lasted about an hour before it really started raining. I didn't feel like soaking in the rain so I left.
