Nice views, but is there any sign down there? Rubs, scrapes, crap, or whatever? Sorry your B'day was a bust, but I think you need to set aside a little time to do a little homework/scouting and such. Those woods look like all the other thousands of acres of bottom land in MS. Plenty of deer around, but they're still a little localized, that is unless you're hunting dogs.
Hope things improve in a couple of weeks.
