    I was just gonna ease into the season and only hunt the afternoon tomorrow, but the temps are gonna drop 25 degrees in 12 hrs overnight and be in the low 50s in the morning. Decisions.

    Weird east wind coming in makes it a bit tricky to nail down a spot that may be worth it.

    I remember something from a couple years ago talking about East winds. Don't remember who's video it was, maybe Midwest whitetail, but they were talking about how it causes bucks to move out of their comfort zone of their normal travel. They claimed that it was a great tactic to hunt on east winds, because of the rarity. I have no idea if this is true. Lol. Just trying to talk you into going mostly! Lol

    It's definitely a thing. I use to take off work when it called for a direct east wind. I love a east wind. We rarely get them, but bucks love to move in them.

    VS, get your butt in a tree in the am.

    I've heard the same thing about an east wind.

    I will definitely be hunting tomorrow morning. 51 degrees, wind will be perfect and the new moon rises right at first light.

    I’ll probably be hunting from 12:30 to 2:30 pm also for the new moon overhead period.

    I sneaked over into my spot, put my Viper on my tree, climbed up and put everything I need in the tree except for my bow. I also took the time to range a few spots just in case something walks through at first light.

    All I have to do now is wake up, get dressed, walk over and climb up with my bow.

    It’s finally time to kick off my 2023 season.
