    Well it's 29 degrees with 20 mph winds so not ideal conditions, but the deer still have to eat and you can't kill them from bed

    Well here we go, sitting on edge of cut corn feild. At spot of last view of buck been chasing all weekend. So that pretty much guarantees won't see him. If I could ever get figured out where to be and when I'd be happy ha, not much different than everyone tho. Does get frustrating tho being close to right spot just never being in range ha.

    Good luck guys, it's really good morning here weather wise so I'd expect for something to drop.

    Good safe huts to all.

    Squirrels are doing Ninja warrior training behind me and they're being safe by landing on the LOUD crunchy leaves.

    Not like you can hunt Sundays here in Pa, but here in the East we have serious wind issues. Gusts are cranking up at around 40mph!

    Nothing out of the stand for me this morning, dad had two deer come through just before light. They went right past the camera turns out it was one of the shooters were after at 30 yards just needed to hang out for 15 minutes:( going out tonight gonna check the camera under the stand I almost went to this morning, guarantee that big boy was under it during daylight, he was headed that direction
