Headed out to the North Plot, stand here is called Taj Majl (East Texas version of Taj Mahal
) One thing I ought to mention, I often opt to hunt edge/peripheral type setups when its hot, or not overly prime huntin conditions. This is one of those spots, I usually see does, sometimes bucks, even good bucks, but mostly hunt it cuz its a cool spot, that is very low impact. Hardly ever do I go "deep" into the woods when its this hot, the risk of messing up one of my prime spots aint worth it. I can go to either the South Plot, Middle Plot (Sand Hill), or North Plot, and can get in, and out most every time without spooking things for future hunts. I am overly **** (like yall cant tell!) about doing my best to keep the deer from knowing I'm after them. Such as, in August when I shred, I shred single shredder wide lanes through the tall weeds, and disc them, so I can come and go as quietly to these spots as possible. Using these tricks over the years where I leave briars, saplings, and such tall, plus discing to expose the soft sand, I have MANY TIMES gotten up into my tree with deer in the plot. I could go on, and on, about all my crazy ideas, but I better quit boring ya...

Course my iPad is an older one. There ya go, clear as mud I'm sure. I have a bunch of pics for this eves hunt, but hate to post em if they all are gonna be sideways! Another odd thing is, the first 2 pics of the buck, were right?! One more thing, when I email them from my phone, it gives me a "size" option, and I always select the "smallest" size, figuring that would do the trick...NOT!! Arrghh...
. Anywho, that's all that went down tonight, zero deer, two hogs. But me being the glass half full kinda guy, I find comfort in the fact that, to my knowledge, I didn't spook any deer either 
I ain't naive, sure, coulda been some I didn't see, that winded/saw me and never showed. But, like I said, "to my knowledge" all was good! I WILL GET THIS PIC THING FIGURED OUT, SOMEHOW!! Good Huntin, and God Bless, Rusty
I think, in this case, I deserve it anyway! Well I hope you guys enjoy readin bout my adventures without pics till I get this thing figured out (ain't even tried tonight). Anyway, this eve, I wasn't able to get free from work till 4:30. Ran by the house, picked up a few things, and headed out. I didn't actually get climbed up till 5:20. I wasn't overly in a hurry though, cuz of this dad-gum heat! Figured once again, like yesterday eve, movement, if any, would be late. I decided to hunt South Plot Red Oak stand this eve. Like I mentioned, I have 10 stands on my place for various winds, and being able to keep my spots as fresh as I can. This spot is another peripheral type area, that I have shredded/worked on all August to give me a good sneaky way to get to it. Also, like I've mentioned before (I think) I "come in" to a my place from the west, so any wind with an E is money. Well today, it was SE, which is perfect for this spot! I will walk in from the west, and when I am in my tree, most all the deer come from the south, or east.
