    We are getting that storm tomorrow around 12:30 with 30+ winds so I'll be out in the morning but not in the evening

    Well I didn't see crap. Someone popped a shot off at 5:45 am out in the field this morning it was 30 minutes before shooting time. The moon was so bright I guess they thought what the heck.

    That's why I stayed in this morning. It was really gusting then. Not "as" bad now but occasionally it gives me a ride in this hedge tree.

    Dan I was close today. I had two bucks move past me in one hour. That was the first time I had seen that for weeks.

    I haven't drank alcohol for like 6 weeks to keep my strength up to keep hunting hard. Much like many of you guys I'm extremely busy. I'm drinking a few tonight.

    Brett you deserve the my friend. If I had your dedication and drive I'd be laying down some big deer every year. I would love to see what you could do with my properties. Lol

    Well, today sucked. I got a text from the ex wife while sitting in the tree that instead of my normal 2 hours ride to pick up the kids and 2 hours back that I had to drive 4 hours up to pick them up and 4 back. Well, about 4 minutes later my Buck stepped out and i had to let him walk because there was no way if I shot him I would have time to recover him and get him to the processor. My kids are more important, but it just sucks that I've spent all that time and I had him at 22 yards broadside for like 3 minutes and couldn't do a thing about it. At least I got to see him while in a stand and he didn't bust me, so there is that......Oh well, good luck this afternoon fellars.

    That's tough man, but family is definitely more important than any deer.



    I couldn't take sitting at home anymore so grabbed the 12 gauge and gonna check few spots. Plus side with the wind shouldn't be hard to sneak around. Not really any skill involved tonight if see anything ha
