Been out four times. Twice in the blind by the quarry and twice in my stand out back. Only saw deer one time the other evening out back. Close enough for maybe my crossbow but I had my compound. Doe and two wean ready fawns. Now its rain, wind and sittin at home bunching up my online school work so I can go out when the weather breaks. *sigh* Looks like a good night Sunday night but DAMN. My mom insists I take her to the Casino in WV. *sigh* Im sure we wont be back in time. *sigh*. I need to try the Quarry in the am but Im leary of walking out to it in the dark...just because I never have...It just doesnt seem like a "morning" spot. Lots of Yote tracks there too.

Well you've been out 4 times as more than me lol.... Good luck with the quarry during darkness, if you go invest in a good flashlight along with one of those that clips to the bill of the hat..... Those come in handy well as long as the hat stays on your head lol.... What are you studying for if you don't mind me asking? As far as taking your Mom to the casino just tell her too give you the hundred bucks.... Go buy her a couple of lottery tickets and then go hunting..... :smiley_crocodile: Hope iut works out in your favor this weekend....

I have all the lights. I like lights as much as boots and hats lol. Im studying general crap to get to Vetrinary tech school. Thinking towards some kind of Equine sports medicine or Horse Chiropractic. As for my mom *sigh* dont have a choice and its 2 hours away but shes giving me some cash for taking her -Cash+win= hunting stuff

I can tell you what I use to get to my stand in the dark...............3M High Intensity Refective Tape, it's the kind they put on the orange barrels on the freeway. You only need pc's the size of a penny, stick it low to the ground on limbs or at the base of the trees and my hole trail lights up. I use a small pen lite and it's the bomb. Good luck.

Funny thing Im complaining about crossing by the quarry in the dark when I spent two years chasing deer for strange guys in unknown woods in the dark and mostly alone cause none of them could ever keep up LMAO! Oh I got some lights alright - a coon set-up and tactical jacket i used for tracking.

Nope, Nada NUTTIN! ....BUT! I did see a hell of allot of fresh tracks going back there tonight and my apples have been ravaged! The wind was strong and it was colder than the gloves I had but I did have seven pairs of woodies swim down stream next to me. Thats a cool sight. 7 fully mature males in all that color.
Its a double step - not really that big but fresh after the rain.
