    It’s blowing but not terrible. 10mph maybe a little more of a gust from time to time. Where is NE for you Jim? I’ve got family in Fort Wayne.

    Can see forever in this stand so when I see stuff it doesn’t mean much. Small buck forever away moving west to east. Deer #1 of the evening.

    The only thing keeping me out here in this wind, is the hope that it will die down in the last half hour or so. I'm not kidding, it's about to blow me out of the tree!

    If your luck is anything like mine it'll stop blowing as soon as you talk yourself into getting down and calling it quits. Good luck riding it out tho, does get pretty spooky when tree your in is whipping around.

    I love setups like this because it keeps you focused but not always the best kill stands. This is setup on the same field I hunted a lot last year just a little further to the west. Hunted it about 10 times last year by this time, first sit this year - should be pretty solid.

    I sat until dark and didn't see a thing. The chickadees were plenty happy; just going about their regular business eating. I sure was hoping for the 8 pointer I'm after to show, but no dice. I think the worst time sitting out there was the 30 minutes after I got in the stand, I held onto a branch for dear life the entire time, but then it seemed to calm down a bit.

    Would I do it again? Yeah, in that tree I would. It's an old spruce in the middle of what used to be a field so it's plenty used to high winds. Would I do it in a poplar or something? No way. Hope everyone had a safe and more successful hunt than I did tonight.
