You know it's bad when you spend 11 hrs (6am-5pm central time)in a deer stand and all you see is 3 squirrels and a possum. The possum would probably bring 3 to 6 dollars this yr but I was not going to pack it the 3/4 mile that I hiked back in the HNF so I let him walk. Heck I had to watch him to amuse myself. The only other action I seen was an inch worm crawling around my climbing bar. This is the worst season for deer sightings for me ever and I have had some bad years. It's still better than working.
