I'm going to hit it this morning also. What I don't need to do is kill one though. I have plenty to do today with work and a dead deer will certainly complicate my day. <<grin>>

Good luck!
You are a real friend...willing to mess with PI for someone!
I'd tell my cousin (best friend and hunting pard) to go pound it if he asked me to move PI from his stand...haha!
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

I found out the hard way when I moved down here to Texas (they don't have poison ivy or oak in Alaska!) that I am severely allergic to the stuff. The nurse at the Doc's office told me to use Preparation-H wipes to cut down on the swelling and itching. It DID! Ed

Mix some rubbing alcohol with some Absorbing Jr and wipe it up down the crack of your ass and it will make you forget all about the itching

Well friend it looks like I'm not getting out this a.m. so the fat lady has sung over my archery season... We all deem success differently, my season has been a great success with the whole gamut of emotions from excitement to aggravation, from surprise to disappointment But to me although I didn't take a buck this season(1st time in a few years) This has been one of my best archery seasons ever!I saw 2 true monster buck and them close enough to spit on 4 different times. I saw hundreds of deer buck and doe and passed far too many to count. I had my opportunity at a giant 8 pt past Saturday and made a bad shot 2" to far forward hitting twigs but that was my call thinking I could slip an arrow thru an obstruction. Some would say terrible and disappointing season, not me Great season as I hunted my butt off and had FUN the whole time even the frustrating ones! A lot of hunters forget why we pursue this sport, it's not for fame and fortune,or to kill every outing,rather plane and simple it's to have fun,enjoy ourselves and nature...and that my friends I did in spades this 2012 archery season!!
Besides this isn't over yet I'll continue my quest for one of the big guys Saturday when I'll have my 12 ga slug gun in hand

Multiple close encounters with big bucks in a wild free roaming area (not high fenced) equal a GREAT season in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing your adventure.

I enjoyed following along. Had me all fired up to hunt, just wish my hunts had 1/2 as many deer sightings...
