    Really thinking should of let my pants air out before putting them up last time out. Had to walk through a creek and they've got a little funk to them ha. Hopefully the deer don't mind since what wind do have is swirling.

    Just got settled in here about 20 minutes ago in SW WI. Sitting over a crp field and behind me is a bedding area. Can't think of a better spot on this farm for a SW Wind good luck all! Will keep everyone posted with how the night unfolds.

    Came out on left side of pic and went until behind the trees on right side before turning and trotting off way she came. Stayed out in clover field so woulda been about a 30-40 yard shot

    Probably 16 or 17 foot to platform. Don't think she picked me off off but might of winded me. Wind is goin slightly that direction but more toward the right side of pic and beyond where it stops

    Hopefully they'll come out to play soon. Nothing today yet but squirrels, birds and honking geese.

    That pic looked lower, guess it doesn't give a good depth perception. Or my inebriated view is off lol

    It is the last day of the MN youth gun season. I have both my kids in the blind sitting on a alfalfa field. It is warm 60 degrees but hoping we can pull something off before we head home tonight.

    Saw three bucks tonight. One
    1.5 year old and two nice 2.5 year old 8 pts. The 8s were together but they sure were beating on trees and limbs. Nice having good buck action right under my stand
