Well the first couple days were tough . Cold and 20-30 mph winds . Did get a small 8 pt no pictures though. Deer movement was down in our area this year. Did have a couple inches of snow though.

"Yellow Springs WVa" Worked on the farm across the road from the store during my college summers. Brings back fond memories of a well tuned back and good times.

Good luck with the hunt

Beautiful country all of it.. Sometimes I think I would like a second home there.. But keeping up two homes would be a real pain.. One is bad enough.. Good luck boys..

You must be east of the Blue Ridge , my part of Va is a 2 week season. Getting tough to find good spots in Va . One reason I like Wv.


Nope, Clarke County.

Got that doe. I'm taking a break for a couple of days and letting my son try for another buck. There's still some chasing going on, so he's planning on trying some rattling.

I did sit for a couple of hours Wednesday evening, but saw nothing. Another hunter came in late and walked through my area. No biggie; I'm in "relaxed mode" now.

Good luck with the hunt[/quote Been through Yellow Springs a few times on fishing trips. My usual stomping grounds are south of there. Nice area though.

My hip was hurting so I didn't go to my stand up on the side of the hill. Every one that hunted up high saw lots of deer. I stayed down by my trailer, my number 2 spot, has never let me down. Didn't see 1 single deer the first 2 days. Going back up Sunday to hunt Monday and Tuesday. View out my front door and back window.

I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
