    Wait a second. Looking through my trail cam pics and who is this elderly gentleman hanging out in the background there?

    I am hopeful to score him tonight. 120s is my guess.

    What is everyone's opinion about hunting in a drizzle with winds steady around 20 and gusting up to 50?

    Gusts to 50 no way, not worth it. I cut it’s around 15-20mph. Drizzle no prob I killed some great bucks in cold drizzle weather

    The thing that would worry me besides the safety factor is how steady can you be swaying in a tree with 43mph gusts. I've sat in a tree with 20mph winds and that's about my max personally

    Not sure. Never been in my climber or ladder stand is this case for winds that high.

    So they updated the forecast and are now saying 6mph winds with 10mph gusts. I wish I could lie every day and keep my job.

    If I could find a accurate wind app I would actually pay for it and as a engineer I don't pay for anything online
