    Those look like dream winds to me this season, been nasty 20+ with gusts to 30+ regularly around here. I'm hitting the woods tomorrow high teens gusting o low 20's, but am looking forward to Friday, currently supposed to be 8-10 and no gusts. I'm sure that will change though

    Well the motocross bikers just rode 60 yards away from me. They made a pass maybe 100 yards down in front of me. I was hoping they would chase something to me but I think they might have ruined my afternoon. Wind and motorbikes make for a bad combination. That was the second pass.

    Any idea of where we are in the Central, IL Rut? Last Thursday/Friday I thought it was one. Sunday-Tuesday is was very slow for me? Was a seeing chasing/seeking and not Rut? What does this up coming Friday/Saturday look like?

    Well with this cold, I have to hope I can get something done this weekend. I have not bough shotgun tags two years in a row now. If all fails I might do a doe only hunt with the muzzleloader? But I sure don't want to.

    The forecast is showing even colder temps for next week, and winds are getting better. I'm off next week and I've never had conditions like this. Should be real interesting!
