    Had my first shooter cruise in on the opposite ridge. Big buck. He was moving fast at 80 yds away. Called and he froze for several minutes. Wind moving all over the place and he eventually got my wind....gone

    2 bobcats, they won't come in anymore for shot tho ha. Actually did see 2 coyotes tho. Anyway little warmer tonight and pretty calm wind. Hoping for something despite the equipment.
