LOL It will be interesting for sure!! I've hunted in some storms like this in Wi., and never saw a deer, even when walking thru the tamarack swamps. I think deadeers luck is turning around though and I think he will get at least one tomorrow. I've got my AR in 450 Bushmaster and if I can't hit them, I will sure let them know that I'm trying!

Not near as many hunters here as there was at this time two weeks ago. I’m the sixth one in line.

Up a tree and ready to roll. Way down in a bottom so the wind isn’t bad down here.

This weather sucks. Wind and sleet/rain mix. First hour of legal shooting and zero shots.

Now to part two. Put on Carhartts, go find deer in their bed, let them have it. Lol.

I won a trophy at Shades! I'm either the wimpiest or smartest hunter today, first one to throw in the towel! I headed home at 9:30. Steady rain changed to blowing snow before daylight. With the wind and as wet as it was, I actually sat on the ground - something I nearly never do. I saw 0 deer and heard 0 shots

Step two done. Found deer tracks and did a push from two directions to Esshup. Zero deer seen tho. They either snuck out behind us, or they held tight and hunkered down and let me walk by. I am gonna walk again, then pull my stand. Will still hunt tomorrow morning, either in a stand another buddy had, or just sit in a chair on the ground. Snow and wind about quit now.
