Think I'm hoping for the wrong weather

    Everytime I see a big cold front moving in I get excited and do whatever I can to make sure I can get out and hunt it. Generally I see deer and sometimes lots of them but never taken a buck or had the shot opportunity. I just went back and looked at the weather for the dates and times I killed the only two decent bucks I've taken.

    Both of them have been taken within 35 yds of my current set-up, both out of different stands but came from the same direction. From tomorrow afternoon through next week I'm looking at similar conditions.
