    I'm not sure how accurate it will be once the time comes but Saturday is showing a high of 53 and a low of 37 on my weather app...I'll be out there!

    Nice to see on the board now. I hope to get out next week a few days. It's been cooling off and cooler for the rest of the forecast. That should get some movement.

    Harvest finally caught up to us here so I've been busy with that. Looks like the weather is going to be cruddy the next few days so hopefully I can sneak a few hunts in later this week and weekend.

    Great to see us on the board with the doe. Congrats !!

    High of 47° with 30-35 mph winds gusting to 45mph tomorrow. Going to feel like winter here minus the snow (I hope!). Vikings play tonight so hopefully make it out for a long sit Sunday.

    My season opens Saturday and I am looking at a 70% chance of rain!! Ugghhhhh!!! Hopefully they are wrong or it is just a shower or two. I hate sitting in the pouring rain. The wind direction looks like it will be perfect for my morning sit on Saturday!

    I am looking forward to getting out after work and sitting over one of my food plots. I got one decent shooter on camera that I will shoot if he walks by. Otherwise I am hunting with slick heads to put some more meat in the freezer.

    How many of the deer you have been showing pictures of would you shoot?

    (4) of the bucks I will shoot. I am not as picky as some. If I think they gross 130" I am shooting.

    Nice! Good luck! Wasn't sure if you'd try topping last year's buck or not.

    Illini you headed out in the morning too? Perfect conditions. Straight west wind, been raining for about 2 days and looks like the low is dipping into the 30's for the first time.

    Well my morning opener sit is in the books!! Was in the tree and settled for the morning at 0600. Saw a small doe at first light and felt pretty good but at 0700 the skies opened up and the rain let loose!! I spent the next two hours sitting in the pouring rain and never saw anything else. I got down and headed home!! Going to make some breakfast and hang out with the family. The rain should be out of here mid day so the evening should be better!!

    French I have been sitting out religiously. Still waiting to see my first buck from the stand. Been seeing only slick heads. I pulled one of my cards yesterday evening and was thrilled with the pic I got. Definitely on my hit list!
