    Prayers sent for you Chilly!
    I saw 2 does that seemed to be spooked by something. It was about 175 yards in the neighbors field. Never saw anything following them?

    Finally I am back to being optimistic about hunting this afternoon. 48 degrees for a high and a north wind almost perfect conditions.

    Need opinions. I saw that nice 8 yesterday afternoon. My stand I saw him from will never offer a shot in it's current location. I need to move about 40 yards south. If I move this morning, could I have action there by tomorrow? Or should I just let it be and hope?

    Think clearly act decisively, you stated what needed to be done to be successful no better time than now to do it.

    Good luck Travis, I know in my area today will only be the second time since the 31st that we have had a typical November wind. Filling my bonus tag is off the table for now.

    What everyone else said. Plus try and follow your scent control regime to cut down on some scent....

    Had deer all around me as it started to get light. Then right around 7:15 had a little 8pt feed in front of me. Now the action has stopped. I assume they all went to bed. Hopefully they wake up mid morning

    I've had deer around me all morning but not the right kind.

    Then I get a video from a buddy of a nice buck in a field along side the road, hanging with a bunch of does.
