Hope you are right; they are saying 30mph gusts today, just hoping the chasing phase will help overcome that. Historically that's enough wind that my track record isn't very good. No birds no squirrels no nothin - except wind. Not feeling it this am. Think to morrow will be better I didn't know that it was windy until steve said something about it. I saw one squirrel this morning and that was it. The wind would shift too. I may throw windy days in there with rainy ones and find something else to do. |

Started climbing down at11, halfway down, a shooter is walking but about 50 yards. I stop, pull my bow back up and he doesn't even notice and keeps going. Then10 minutes later my target buck comes nose to the ground within30 yards. I only needed one more yard for a clear shot but never got it. They were both oblivious to everything around them.

Saw the first bit of chasing around here this morning, a yearling and a 2 1/2 year old 8 pt after a doe. This afternoon, I'm in a stand that has been consistently producing double-digit does sightings, so
hopes are high. Wind is all over the place though..

Have an arrow in one, young buck. I got tired of no action so I took it. Heard him go a short way & then nothing. That was about 5:30. Going to wait till 6:00 & look at the shoot site

Woooooohoooooo! Awesome dbd. I really don't see how you fellas sit there year after year. You guys are real hunters. I'll do a food plot next year ....hopefully and hunt a few weeks, but that's it. I'll be after the tree rats and other such creatures with wings.
