I'm going to Shades, late hunts have historically been way less productive than the early hunts, but I always welcome new scenery. The first hunt this year was the week prior to the gun season . I always wondered if that made a difference on deer movement from outside pressure? Historically, I've done good at park hunts that were prior.

Let's hope so! 9 days of heavy gunfire should run at least a few into the park??? I'll be checking to see how you guys do.

In the stand at Chain. Heavy trail of tracks in the snow coming out of the thicket. Let's hope they return in daylight, a nice 30yd away. 😇

Slow start. I think 5 shots so far. Complete snow blanket, they will stand out big time if they show face.
Bad news, I left my snacks at home. Thermos of chili in the truck at least, and thermos of coffee with me. Shows windchill of 12deg right now. Nice.

Set up at Fort Harrison state park hunt. Nothing like the hummm of 465 to make you feel like you are one with nature!

Had a nice flurry of shots around 8:15, couple close. I'm still expecting/hoping something to come back to the tangles I'm watching. I'm doing surprisingly good for 26mph wind in my face. I got out the boot blankets, and that has seemed to care care of the cold feet!

Comes in waves now, so when its calm, it's really decent. With the snow, I'm gonna try to ride this out till 1-2pm.

Wind is here with a vengeance now. Only 2 shots since last report. I'm still hanging in there comfort wise, but the confidence is waning! We've kinda reassessed, and looking like pulling the plug at noon.

I had a coyote come by, but that was it as far as movement. I was back at the vehicle around 11:15 or so. 5 shots total is all I heard.

I heard 25 shots in Versailles but 5 sounded like follow up shots. Pulled out at 1130 when I got a call from the wife saying that she had hurt herself. Told her to put ice on it and I am on my way. Got home and the ankle still hurts but she will be fine.
