Yesterday we had an early Thanksgiving for the Bride's local family and I was unable to hunt. First daylight photos of "The Ghost" in two years, 75 yards from my favorite stand.
I had time to slip in and hang another stand this afternoon, giving me four in a hundred acres covering all wind conditions. If he keeps this up, one of the gun hunters that surround me, some within 300 yards, are going to put his lights out.
Crunch time!!

Cliff,
I've been thinking of you lately! Good to see your post.
The Ghost looks like he is the King of your woods. I hope you get the opportunity to have a close encounter with him, very soon.
He deserves an arrow instead of a bullet, and you deserve to be the one who presents it to him!
Best wishes (for you, not the Ghost!)
Daryl
