It
was the Second day of the 2006 Archery Season and the first morning I was able
to make it out! I had some alarm clock problems and was running about 15 minutes
late, but Jim's New Rhino with a top speed of 45 MPH was able to keep me from
being any later, I flew over to the Cabin Road stand and it had already begun
to get light. I climbed into the stand, got settled and used the Range Finder

The
conditions were great for a late October hunt. High pressure had settled in
and the wind was perfect for my set up. I was sitted 20 ft up in one of my most

I had arrived at the Farm the day before it was 63 degrees that day and with
a stiff wind, not your typical December day; I had refreshed all the Mineral
licks and was able to do a little scouting. I had noticed that most of the food
plots had been almost completely eaten; the only ones that looked promising
were the clover plots, especially the golf course plot.
