    Does that give you the opportunity to clear out the card from your phone as well? Or are you able to format the cards right on the cameras?

    Just as I was about to get ready to pack it up. A deer starts blowing to the N. Don't think it could have winded me, but who knows.

    Loving the journey Fitz, the Adirondacks are nothing compared to up there. Very jealous of your snow too. Can't wait to see y'all get Blade! Keep the pictures coming.

    Looks cold out there this AM. I need to run into town this morning to grab a few supplies. Then I'll be twiddling my thumbs until the guys get here so we can game plan tonight's hunt.

    Wind is going to be nasty today. Gusts up to 30. Should make for an interesting sit.

    Is it strange that the fabric of that chair scares me more than the wolves outside? :p

    Alrighty, put together a quick plan and we're out. Todd is sitting on the S Killing Pond stand. Chase and I took down the Lone Wolf on the N side of the pond and head SW of the back corner along a ridge. I haven't been back here for a couple years.

    We found a huge scrape and kicked up a deer I the way in, a doe I think.

    It's real windy out. 20mph with gusts at 30. All out of the SW but gradually switching to the W.

    We've hear a couple trees crash, so we got that going for us.

    Me too... Me too.

    It's one of the resort owner's rejects from their house. Lucky us, we get to stare at it all year :tu:
