It appears that MOTHER NATURE is going to throw a few wrenches into our opening day hunts here in La Porte County.
We are expecting a west wind, temps right at freezing with snow changing over to rain later in the morning, little to no accumulations or we could get about an inch. It all depends who's forecast you believe.
I have my shoot house cleaned with the heater in place.
This might be the last hunt for my Grandson and I for a while because he just got his drivers permit and may have a job lined up.
He just completed the last of his requirements for his EAGLE SCOUT award.
I am looking forward to this hunt in big way.
Best of luck to all of you stay dry, stay safe and enjoy the season.

This weather better adjust some folks decisions for shot selections...I just fear those that should do this won't, and those that wouldn't need to will like most things.
GOOD LUCK to you and all this weekend! Shoot straight and ethical and may all blood trails lead to memories!

Featherduster,
Enjoy your memory making time with your grandson.
My grandson will be here but we will be in separate stands. We do keep in contact by texting and then when we are done we compare notes and hopefully a congratulation or two.
Enjoy!

Featherduster, good luck to you and your grandson. Take lots of pictures! It is a good thing that he has a job lined up. Hopefully he gets a Saturday or Sunday off here and there to hunt or fish with you from time to time.

Well the weatherman might be right on their prediction because it was snowing just a little bit ago.
The wind has been howling since yesterday.

Oh yes I remember it. I also remember one year where there was consistent 30/40 mph winds on opening day. WHY of all days does it have to be on an opening day!!!!!!!

Days like tomorrow are why it's nice to have a shooting house. It'll still be cool inside, but the wind and rain can kiss my aunt fanny...
Everyone be safe tomorrow!

Box blinds are the bees knees when it comes to windy or rainy days. But, I have a buddy heater in one of them. Plus I have one of the smaller buddy heaters that screws onto the top of a 1lbs propane cylinder that I carry in my pack if I'm hunting either of the other box blinds.

The weather man said there was a slight chance of rain today. I hunted this morning but only got a to loose a crossbow bolt shooting at a doe because it clipped a branch & I saw a splash in the lake. As I walked out it started to rain at 9:30am & hasn't stopped. Slight chance he said. LOL I hope he does a better job of predicting for tomorrow. As long it's not a rain out like it was last season on opening day. Everyone stay Safe out there tomorrow.

It was a cold trip to the blind tonight. Snow pelting you in the face and eyes made for words spoken.
