    Good to go, didn't bump anything on the way in. Winds are already pretty strong, swirling a bit.

    Sitting back by the bedding area hoping for a cruiser, but I'll take a doe as well. Plenty of stands and I can toss one in the truck and get back after it.

    See how the morning goes, may switch stands late morning.

    Good luck everyone

    Rain is starting to form, luckily to my east with the heavier stuff but some lighter returns moving this way from the west. There's a chance it falls as sleet, snow and rain mix. Hope they're on their feet this morning. Temp has dropped about 17 degrees the past 5 hours.

    Just had a hot Doe come behind me 12 yards with an 8 point in tow. He stopped and looked up at camera and smiled. Looked to be around 105-110" bad part thats the hardest spot to get a shot while filming! Its started!
