    Good luck MGH.

    Winds are picking up here....not hunting though. My afternoon hunt tomorrow may be in jeopardy due to projected 30-40mph winds.

    Forky finally left, he was gettin on my nerves. Been a while since I did an all day sit, kinda rough.
    I'm hoping the last hour makes it worth it.

    I have been sitting with my son all day. The time does go by slow when you haven't seen a deer since 8:00. Hopefully it will pick up soon.

    I was going to be hunting ole big buck today but they called my wife into work.. My son has been asking to go so I guess we will go for a short sit in one of our ground spots by the house (its cold and he is little). Still haven't got the 2 man ladder stand set up for us at my dads yet. Who knows tho, we may get a doe in close enough to get the job done! This wind is gonna be a killer tho.

    I called it after 11am when I went to eat my sandwich and it fell out of the stand. Being too wet and frustrated I climbed down and went home. Hope you guys get some luck tonight. I'm on daddy duty tonight while wife goes out with her friends!

    I'm sitting over food tonight. Last night had a shooter at 10 yards. Hoping he returns. I will shoot a doe too.

    After sitting all day a hot meal and shower tonight are going to be good. If I have to wash blood off my hands it will be even better.
