Drove to Groveland this am and was in my stand by 6:15 . Enough moonlight where I didn't need to use a light . Got strapped in , sat back and relaxed . At 7:45 a buck has heading North in the woods about 70 yards away . The wind was blowing from the South . 15 minutes later , he headed back the way he had come from . It was a spike but he was a big bodied deer . Weird ! Around 8:45 a red fox went by my stand . I got down from the stand at 10:30 and walked a bit . Grabbed my gear and walked up to my mother's house .
Had some coffee and lunch , chatted and took a nap .
Went back to the stand at 2:30 and stayed until 5:30 . Saw NOTHING ! It was quite windy and the treestand was rocking . I had checked things out to make sure there weren't any "widow makers" . I should have taken some Dramamine for motion sickness ! The wind made it pretty nippy .
