I've been settled in for about an hour. I wanted to go down where I saw the does last night, but the wind was acting crazy down there. I'm up on top now.
I'm leaving for Montana Saturday, so my standards might be dropping a bit.

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. Been doing the same today.

With the wind and no ground blind at home I decided to wrap my 13 hives. 12 in my field and one up the road. All lucky 13 hives are 100% ready for colder winter weather. Next time checking on them will be any 50 plus sunny days in February. If warm days in January (rare) I will check a couple that I know are a little light on Honey stores. Those hives have 3-5 lbs. of sugar on top of the frames. Method is called mountain camp.

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. Channel 8 just said pm rain Saturday and pretty much a washout for Sunday. I like THAT forecast way better even though it`s not ideal. I`ll be out Saturday then play Sunday morning by ear!

Finally got to make it out again this morning. No deer, but lots of squirrels. With the predicted wind I didn't bring the air rifle along, but I should have! They were close. One was at 3 feet and I thought I was gonna get jumped on!

Ready to get back out. I suspect peak rut is over in my area so I think I'm just gonna go bust brush in the thickest areas and try to bump up a buck or spot one early and get a shot. Tired of sitting. Sunday cant come soon enough.

I’m the first deer hunter in my family really , but I intend to pass it down ! Gotta keep sharpening these skills so I can teach him to do it right! Took me a lot of years of doing it without a person to guide me through it. I’m still nowhere near most of you guys in hunting knowledge/skill, but I’ve finally learned how to put myself on deer pretty consistently. That, I’ll take for now. Every hunt is a new lesson, and this is about the only schooling I’m willing to sit down and study for 4+ hours.

I was 30' to 35' feet up a tree in my Summit Viper today swaying heavily in the strong wind. The tree was severely bent too so it was no fun to climb at all. I wasn't chasing deer though, I successfully rescued a neighbor's kitten. I had my harness on and my climbing rope in use but it is still not my idea of a good time at all! Apparently my wife volunteered me and she knows that I don't really enjoy heights at all. Back in the woods with a powerful, well sighted in rifle on Saturday for sure though.
