Barometer: 29.79 and rising then steady
Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbeous, 67% full 
Stand Location: Corrin’s stand and dead body stand
Deer Activity: 3 doe at 30 yds heading for the ridge and one buck right at dark who was working the scrape right in front of my stand.  Just couldn’t get him into range before I ran out of light.  Also had a deer at 5yds, turned out to be a little button buck so I let him walk.  Thought that was the best thing to do.  Corrin had 5 doe that came in from the left of her at about 25yds.  Tried to get a shot but just had two many eyes looking at her.  Next time! Pretty soon we’re gonna run out of times to say that.
