    No warm gear equired today. 50 degrees already. Wind is a bit high for 5am, but direction is perfect for a few stands

    It's 32 right now, supposed to be 25 for a few days later this week. I am so excited for snow! Maybe you guys up north could send a little my way.

    Agreed. 4-7th have always been special days. The chase has begun and bucks are moving. Any time in a tree is good. Think travel routes and pinches. Down wind side of thick bedding or spots b/t bedding areas.

    Just crawled into the stand, I’m packed in for the day!!! A little cooler than I thought it would be this morning, sitting right around 40, high for today is 57 so it should be a relatively cool day on the stand, the leaves are crunchy as can be and it’s so quiet right now you could hear a pin drop, so I probably sounded like a Mac truck coming through the woods, Dad covered up a bucks scrape last night on his way out to the car and just passed it and said the buck cleared it off over night

    One crisis averted. Got to McDonalds amd didn't have my debit card. Searched everything rel quick amd ran back home. Nowhere to be found. Stopped at Arby's last nifht and tossed garbage.

    Searched truck one more time and found it on my back floor.

    Used up my time cushion,but on the highway with breakfast

    On my way. Day 1 of 11 all day sits. Hope I don’t need all 11. Had good movement yesterday and the weather is looking good. Good luck everyone.

    Kind of relative though...you sit in 50* all day, you are eventually going to get cold. Just like you can sit in an 80* pool all day but will eventually get cold because it will lower your body temp... I’m dressing moderate going in with an extra layer in my bag just in case and my jacket.
