    Fitz... Minnesota Cold Front is rocking today - if you are braving the elements tonight (good luck!). Otherwise, I expect you to kill blade tomorrow afternoon over a scrape.

    Errands in town ran longer than expected, just heading across now. Wind has picked up, but is bearable.

    I'll post once I'm up!

    can't wait! I would love some snow, but it is 78 and sunny/windy here

    might freeze by morning!!!

    That will get them moving!

    You sitting the ridge this evening? Jealous of the snow, and watch your step, if it was slick last time I'm sure the snow won't make it much better.

    Good Luck, stick him where he breathes!

    Yeah, I'm up on the ridge again.

    Snowing really lightly now. No accumulation under the pines. Here are a few from the way in.

    It's gonna be impossible to hear them, but they should stick out a bit in the snow.

    Still thinking about an all day sit tomorrow. We'll see how I feel about that later tonight.

    out of curiosity, how many times in the last three years of hunting Blade have you heard or read the words "you'll get him today, I can feel it Fitz." ?

    Thats true. It only takes being right once to get the job done. As long as you dont miss :poke:

    haha Good luck though! I get excited for people when they have history with a deer. Im just hoping to get my first buck this year. hopefully we will both have our hand on some antlers by the end of the season.:tu:
