    Well, it was dead calm all morning but now there's a pretty good east wind picking up. An east wind in Indiana usually means a big change in the weather is coming.

    Blessings. ..........Pastorjim

    What a great opening day. Seen 5 does and a spIke buck. Had a doe bed down 20 yards behind my tree for a while. Would have loved to put an arrow in one of them but it was still and awesome day.

    Saw 9 does this morning, no antlers. Was going to whack one, but 1-2 mph wind swirled on me twice!! Wind was back and forth all morning. Bummer.

    Back at it tonight, then again on the weekend.

    Ended up seeing just one doe but she was about 90 yards away. Done for the day. This whole work thing really sucks.

    East wind. 82 F.

    Set up on a pinch point between a creek and a lake. Bean field to my north and more crop fields through the woods to my south.

    Really just hunted this because easy entry east exit - should keep pressure down for now!
