No, I don't hunt in strong wind, for safety.
I'm retired, I pick and choose when I go out.

Went out this morning and saw 3 spikes and 2 does. Probably will hit another stand this afternoon. It’s been slow this week up to this point but the temp drop might work in our favor

Not me. Truck broke down yesterday, so I didn't sleep well thinking of work that needs to be done. I work out of my truck. It's in the shop, hopefully is done soon. I've already had a lift delivered to a jobsite for tomorrow. So no hunt tomorrow either.

OMG am I freezing. Says it's 32 degrees but with this steady 17 mph wind it's going right to my Bones. I'm only out to shoot a tender Doe for the landowner. I'm praying nothing big with antler's walks by.
Brought my Dad's 1957 Savage 300 model 99. He bought it at Jordan Marsh in Natick Ma.
He retired it for a .338 Browning cannon. First time it's been in the woods in 40 year's. One hour left......

Yup, tomorrow for me too. Going to try and have a long sit, and maybe scout a different section in the same area after doing some research.

Got in the woods around 3:10. Grabbed cards from 3 cameras on the way in and sat down. First card I go through is near where I sat down. Scrolling through, I see a pic of 3 doe yesterday at 3:26pm. I look at the time on my cell....3:32. I look up....all 3 are working towards me at 40 yrds. Knowing tomorrow is the last day my son can go out, I didn't shoot. I watched them 30 minutes. Once they were out of sight for a few minutes, I bailed. Hopefully we'll see them in the morning.

This afternoon I went to another stand and as I approached my stand a big 6 point was bedded right under my stand. Needless to say he didn’t stick around long. I’ve got many pictures of that deer. He is a 3.5 year old named Brutus. He has 1 more year before he’s eligible. And of course I saw nothing the rest of the hunt.
