    Here I sit while the bucks run wild...

    Sitting here about 8:00am - an average workday- talking to clients and staring at a computer screen. "Beedle Beep!" It's a text from Pat, a leasemate who is hunting today. Pat is one of those guys who likes to look at deer and goes to the lease alot but rarely shoots. Text says "Parker-I'm sitting in the hilltop rifle blind and there is a very nice 10 point standing between your Double Bull and the feeder!" An hour later - "Beedle Beep!" "Holy crap! I'm rattling from the tower stand and bucks came charging in from three directions!" 30 minutes later "Beedle Beep!" "The bucks are running wild - a heavy 8 just chased two does right by the camp and out into the wheat field, you need to get out here!" Well as luck would have it I can't get there till late Friday night - why do I feel there's a "You should have been here yesterday!" moment in my future?

    I know what you mean!! This guy I know keeps sending pics of the deer he has killed this week (3 so far) while I am here at work. He is going to tag out before I get a chance to get back in the woods.

            The air is cool outside and the flag in the parking lot is limp. What a day to be hunting. Forecast for my first sit on Saturday however, is close to 80 degrees and a 25mph wind! Dang job - always getting in the way of the important stuff!

                *Sigh*

                Can't go until next Thursday night. I sure hope the rut is kicking in then. Until then, all I can do is think about it.

                        Almost don't want those type text messages. Ruins my day and makes me anxious. Soon enough, Friday will be here.

                              Wish I had a boss that thought the same way you do....

                              Everything will be alright. In the area I hunt it Thanksgiving is usually the time to be there for full blown rut. That's why I took Monday and Tuesday off the week after Thanksgiving. 6 solid days of hunting, can't beat that.
