Nothing new

Went out again this evening, had to do some "home camoflauge," which detailed rubbing charcoal and ashes on my face, jacket, and pants.  Didn't see anything, but I'm pretty sure I got smelled-out.  I heard a warning blow/snort. But couldn't see the deer, probably got wind of me and got out of there.  Better luck next time.

 My blind.  Just the fallen top of a tree.  The grey worked best with my home-made camo.

 The view from the front.  I had to do very little "fixing" to get comfy.  Just pushed aside some leaves and stirred up some dirt, to help cover the scent.

 My right-hand view.  Looking towards a hill that leads up to a rock out-cropping.  The deer snort came from my left side, where my vision was blocked by thick branches and dead leaves.

 The home-made camo.  Charcoal on the face, and you can barely see the lines I drew on my jacket, they were also on the pants.  Charcoal has no smell, and it's actually used to qabsord smells around it, it's also darker than mud, making it a better face paint than dirt.  The other thing is that ashes are a very base substance, and can be a substitute for soad while camping.  And it also doesn't irritate the skin like dirt usually does.

A better shot of the home-made camo. This was near a summer home where I picked up some charcoal from their fire-pit to further cover my face and hands with charcoal. You can see how dark it was getting.  And after a little while it started raining, so I moved out, heading for home.
