Tonights hide.  Sweating arrows and steaming up the lenses

Passed up a heavy six point no brow tines a little too early to shoot him. Tempting 10 yards. Here’s a picture of that weed. It starts growing in late summer and covers everything the deer eat it before anything else they’re out there every night.Here’s a picture of that weed.

They like stinging nettle too.  Seen big areas where they mow the tops down to knee high, evenly.

That's not stinging nettle.  I found out what it was the hard way, in a short sleeve t-shirt.

I walked thru stinging nettle many years ago wearing shorts.  I remember pretty severe pain, more than you would think.  Are you saying that this stuff stings also?

No.  Just saying that stuff is not stinging nettle.  Stinging nettle is another plant that the deer also devour.  Maybe the toxins in stinging nettle that makes it sting so bad gives the deer a buzz when they eat it.

No luck for me this am - I knew I should have repositioned my stand to be closer to a white oak that was raining acorns but I was lazy. So today I watched deer eat from 50 yards away.
