    Couldn't get out tonight downpour here in PA, nothing for the morning sit but dad and I walked around after the sit and found a nice spot with two giant beds, a couple scrapes and he's been rubbing around the area! Got a video of a nice 9 point there last year, so dad and I set up a new set for the AM and it's looking like low 40s in the morning only getting to mid 50s, hoping that cold air has them moving that or I can catch the big boy coming in to bed down for the day

    Exactly. That just looks like a terrible idea.

    It would just stay on the D ring and go with the strong wouldn't it? Or what am I missing here that could go wrong?

    So what should I do tomorrow guys? Help me decide.

    It's supposed to have a south wind, 15 to 25 mph, Gusta 35. Rain on and off, that front is coming through here. Do I hunt that shelf on the hillside, along the scrape run,

    Or do I go in deep 1 1/2miles and Scout like I've always wanted to on a saddle where I know a real monster has to be. And get an area set up for the rut?

    Swamp, if it were me I'd use October 22nd and the nasty weather to scout. That could pay off bigtime. Gusts up to 35 mph and rain ain't no fun to hunt.
