That one made me laugh out loud!
And we're back in the house, having some ham & green bean soup.
Nothing came through in the evening. I'll sit in it again tomorrow & then reposition the blind to the back of the property and try again Thursday morning.
Waiting to hear from the neighbor when I can hunt his place. He's very generous and lets most neighbors who hunt on. I like that. He's the salt of the earth. Has a penchant for old machinery that he leaves scattered across the property in poor repair. I like that too.
Takeaways:
Crowded, but not bad. Everyone was polite & friendly, willing to share space or give up a spot for others. That was a really nice thing to see while hunting. No ego, no weirdness, just people enjoying themselves.
Remember the park pass. I totally spaced it. There were a few spots I checked out that were open & had great habitat.
Lots of shots, so assuming either a lot of new signage is needed, or there's full freezers for a lot of folks.

drive down past the local watering hole, you’ll either see the signs shot up or da boys be tellin the story with the buck strapped to da hood.
The smoke shop/processor across the street is good for this as well. Saw some nice bucks last year.

I give it 1.5 stars so far. Need more catchphrase words like swamp donkey, toad, freak nasty, ect. Have you even named any bucks yet? Where are the trail cam pictures of the targets for this year? Did you even tag your sponsors in your posts? You may call yourself a whitetail hunter, Mr Lamb, but you are not. #notarealdeerhunter

They hung 25 total so far. That first one will win. Pics don’t do it justice, I bet it is every bit of 150-160”.
So get back after it tomorrow, plenty left out there to shoot.
