Luke got it done tonight!!! His first deer! He got a 90yd broadside shot, and put it in the bullseye! It went 30yds, and he tracked it all by himself! Awesome!!! Congrats to him 👍

Live from the "man`s room"...due to work schedule, the only days I have left for hunting firearms season are this Saturday all-day, Sunday, morning only, then possibly the day before Thanksgiving, morning only.
From WTHR; weather for Saturday: 50% chance of rain, Sunday; 60% chance of rain, and the day before Thanksgiving; 60% chance of rain.
GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I planned around the weather so many times, only to be disappointed for listening to them. I would just plan to go, and watch the radar, even tho that isn't trustworthy. Even better is when it shows a west wind currently, and it's coming out of the east. Lol. They should just give up.

Heading out now for a short hunt before the wind gets bad again. Then will spend the rest of the day butchering.

Hunting the blind again to dodge the wind. Cant stand a treestand swaying, and where I am up on a ridge, the wind blows over the top terribly. You get chilled to the bone in no time. But I must say again, the blind is really spoiling me. I see their usage going up drastically in my future.

Back out to Morgan monroe today to try and creep up close on this windy day. Figured out where 4 doe and 3 bucks have been bedded on a hillside. Going to try and put the stalk on them when the wind picks up

Well that didn’t take long. Sat on top of one ridge and right at 710 a buck came to another point maybe 35 yards away from me. I got in position to shoot and noticed he was a little smaller than I would like so I decided to let him pass. THEN, he decides to bed down right there while I’m stuck in this uncomfortable shooting position lol. After about 10 minutes of barking like a dog he finally got up and walked away. It is public land so I was very tempted to take him but he never again presented a shot after bedding down

Be careful out there folks! That wind is brutal already. I'm not hunting to but gathering some split firewood instead. Fortunately, it's all piled up outside of the timber on the field edge.

But I must say again, the blind is really spoiling me. I see their usage going up drastically in my future. You may have to invest in a fabric company, the fabric ones don't last that long when they are out long enough for the deer to get used to them, or build some permanent ones. I may get off my butt this year and build a permanent one towards the back of my place. I could pre fab the walls, I have metal barn material to put on the roof.

I have had the two I use most over 10yrs and their just starting to wear. I stake them down good, and have never had one blow away yet.

I already came in. Some high gusts already. I did watch a red fox chase two rabbits. I didn't hear a cry so I guess the rabbits out foxed the fox.

I swear Im just sick. Just had a 150"-160" buck come in 25 yards. I was ready & waiting for him to clear one more tree. Of course he stops behind a couple trees & winds me then goes full sprint away from me.
