    I went home took a nap, ate breakfast, and thought about my chances of shooting anything in 20mph winds. Then I realized that my odds of killing a deer are better if I'm in the woods and not reading about it in my living room. Got dressed, cup of coffee, fired up the war wagon and I'm headed back out.

    And that is why certain people are successful year in and year out....pushing forward even when exhausted.

    Good luck Michi!

    Once I'm here I don't leave, I'll go nap in the truck early season, but if I went home, I would not make it back out. All day sit today though, and now I have another doe,maybe the same one from earlier, just kind of standing around eating about 50 yds to my right.

    Sure is windy, trying a new tactic tonight.

    Hope all I see is a spike tonight if I see anything. Id hate to see that big 8 again.

    Back in. Windy here as well. If it dies down, tonight could be good.

    I'm thinking the same thing. Supposed to die down at the perfect time, we will see if it actually happens.

    Set up in some thick stuff. Scrape has been worked and full of sign.

    Unfortunately, d-bag neighbor saw me going to my stand and is riding around on his atv...

    I don't post here much but idk who else to tell right now. In the stand and my dd just came over the radio and said he just arrowed the biggest deer he has ever seen. I asked just how big and he said in the neighborhood of 180 12 point. Getting down from my Stand in a hour to check on sign.

    Wish us luck
