Well the rain held off until dark. We had a decent buck cross behind us but by the time he got on it, it disappeared into the brush. Then about 5 minutes later had 2 does cross in front of us, too fast again. He was having a hard time getting on the deer in low light and then after they passed said he couldn't even see the cross hairs. He's right-handed but left eye dominant. I started him off shooting left handed so he never had to worry about it. Well apparently he can't see very well out of his left eye and is waiting on a new prescription for his glasses. So, we just left Wal-Mart with a skull and crossbones eye patch so he can shoot right-handed tomorrow.

Sitting on a different field. Had a fawn come out and then had a doe come from the opposite side and chased the fawn off. She made a loop in the field and ran right back into the woods. Light steady rain but we're dry and are going to stick it out for a while.

About to wrap it up. Raining pretty good now. Not a bad weekend. 5 deer seen, all within 50-60 yards. I know he's frustrated but hopefully it will just make him appreciate it that much more when he does get one.

Well he got some new glasses and they paid off! My nephew shot a 7 pt this morning. I promise you there was some celebrating in that stand this morning. I'll post pictures when I can. The site has been giving me an error when I try from my phone. He's been making a few hunts a year with me for 5 years, so he earned it.
