    Well since I have seen zero deer and this wind is ridiculous, I decided to climb down and go to the truck for lunch and to warm up. I'll head back out in a bit and finish out the day. Really debating on hunting or not tomorrow, wind is supposed to suck tomorrow too....

    Not going good looking for the deer. I haven't been able to find a single drop of blood. I found my arrow and got approximately 6" of penetration. I know that I saw a spot of blood behind the offside shoulder. Got a buddy coming to help.

    Eventful morning! Headed out about 9:30 to take a long walk, got a call at 11:00 from my mom saying there's a buck at the house, figures! So I rushed to where he ran, and waiting for him in a field.

    1 little spike at first light and nothing else all day. So slow, trying to fight off the mid afternoon nap.

    My buddy and I just got set up. Windy but manageable. I really hope he gets a crack at his first deer.

    54*, with an 18 mph wind out of the South. This will be my last 3 hours with the now, before the smokepole comes out next weekend for our gun season. Good Luck everyone!
