    Weaseled my way into another 4 day weekend. I'll be out in the AM with the hand cannon, all options open as I'm looking for meat and ending my 2014 season with a bang. Literally

    Good luck cls. I couldn't get another tag, not surprising, so I'll be taking the weekend off. My buddies girlfriend is still wanting to go so I may head out with the camera and try to get some footage with her but idk. Wish could still just head out with the bow ha.

    Wind is perfect for down in the bottoms. Trying to hang up at the truck as long as possible, if no one shows up I'll have stand choice. 20 minutes until legal time.

    Pretty cloudy and freezing rain and/or wintry mix is in the area. Might be a deterrent for the others.

    This thread is due for a kill. Nobody else showed up, so down in the bottoms.

    Hopefully they're moving this morning. Didn't bump anything coming down.

    Sleeting off and on, nothing moving. Better than liquid precip I guess. Not sure how long I'll sit today. Prepared for an all day sit if the rain holds off.

    Good luck Slugger. I will be scouting with my bow in hand tomorrow mid day, and hunting Monday and Tuesday afternoon.

    I saw nothing but squirrels and an owl that landed a foot above my head and think we both crapped ourselves!

    Sitting tomorrow out, didn't see a thing today and supposed to have persistent rain all day tomorrow. Hoping they'll lay up and be moving Saturday morning. Left the lone wolf set up for one last sit. Once I pull it I'll probably be done for the season, unless a good calm snow were to happen on a day off. Snow is my weakness for getting in stand
