I am hoping for a good hunt Saturday! But as I pull up the wind forecast for Saturday I can’t help but get that sickening feeling in my gut again for hunting in more gusty winds! What the heck is up with all the wind this deer season? No kidding! once firearms came in I think I was out 1 time that wasn't windy. I'm in Alabama now so won't be out this weekend. For those still around from when the princess was doing the hunts she is 37 weeks now and really showing!

Evening hunts over cut corn but even moreso standing beans is the way to go this time of year has been my experience. I can't say I've ever seen the beans left up past October anywhere I've had the chance to hunt. Yeah I saw picker in the field last night-seems kind of late even for corn

Disgusted, had a 30 yd broadside shot at a big 8 and the cap didn't go off. That kind of thing is really hard to take- bummer.

Yeah I went back and read what I wrote; it was misleading. You are of course correct

No, each county limit spans across all weapon seasons. Now if it is a special hunt; State Park etc those don't count against the quota. If it's a 1 County 1 is all you can take

I have heard a shot - better than yesterday! Wind is definitely not as bad too

Wind is really up here: nothing so far. They are saying 30 mph gusts; I'd say at least that. The weather statement expires at 5pm. So I'm going to hang on and see if it dies down. If it's still up at 5:30 I will make an early night of it

I've had all the fun I can stand for one morning....I'm out of here. I did not see a single living thing.. I bailed a few hours ago. I'll give the last 2-3 hrs this afternoon a shot

Wind is shifting from NE to SW intermittently, it just needs to stay out of the SE. Wish it would just stay down. Spoke too soon SE right now-sleeting again It has quit snowing here. When it was you could see the wind shift ever few seconds That makes it tough for sure

Got wind here not all the time. Someone to the southwest of me is out shooting; maybe he'll push one my way. No hunting shots yet
Sleeting here now; wind is staying up too

Normally I'd agree but on the 3 different properties we hunt so far this season JDUB saw that 12 point and I saw one 1.5yr old buck. We've seen plenty of does. Ideally we should leave the bucks alone and work on the does but they are all 10-15 acre kind of properties and the places around them get hunted too so we can't influence things very much. Still I'd rather take a doe at this point.

Any guesses why I brought this thread back up? Yep, no power, and its 13deg right now. Nice. Yeah, I pretty well figured that out (bummer) - when I first moved here we would get them like you are. Been much better for several years now.This is a problem that can be greatly improved - they just need to do the work.

Sure there isn't a math error on ours? (I'm feeling it for ML season teammates)

Live (delayed) from the car: I didn't see a single deer during my drives to and from work during firearms season - and in that amount of time I usually see something. I have seen multiple deer these last 2.5 days, including one good buck on my road this morning. Even though this was not during legal hours I'm hoping this is a sign they are starting to move more again.
