is anybody out there

Sometimes when you're setting on the stand you start to wonder if you are the only out there. This is just such a morning.

It's a little past 8 and I haven't heard a single gunshot all morning. The sky was pretty clear last and we had a bright moon. This morning however was wet. Not rainy wet more like foggy wet but without the reduced visiblity. There's water on the pine needles like you have after a good rain.

The temperature is in the low 50's and the wind is non-existent. The number of feeders going off this morning sounded lower too. Most likely they have run out of corn as mine has. Strange that most of the stores around here were out of corn by Thanksgiving weekend this year.

At last, a rifle shot in the distance. That's one more deer that won't make it to the end of the season I guess. Less than 48 hours remain of the 2006-07 season and I think the deer know it. Maybe they've decided to sleep in for the weekend. Certainly not a bad idea from their perspective.
