Live from the stand 2017

In the stand this morning. Hunting a major scrape line that connects a bedding area to my main food plot. The spot also intersects 3 main trails. Middle of November and temps in the 60's this early morning with mosquitoes buzzing around. Not ideal conditions but a man gotta hunt when a man can hunt.

1 shot heard at 6:40 a long way off. As I mentioned already I awoke to 69 degree temps and a strong SW wind. According to weather channel it is supposed to rotate from NW soon, drop 20 degrees, and be up to 35 mph wind. Tough conditions for sure. I am sitting in a bottom between mountains to try to stay out of the wind as much as possible....
 
Anybody else dealing with 40+ mph wind today?

It wasn't that bad in ETex this morning, but bad enough. SW winds and warm. There were eight hogs in the plot when I scooted in behind my stand in the cart. I have a pretty good screen of brush and hogs being about half blind, they never saw me. I got two lined up, and touched the .280 off. I hope I put a bullet in the second one too, but I'm not sure.

I saw zero deer by 10:00 am, and went home. It's supposed to be in the forties tomorrow, so I have another place in mind. Maybe........

Yep calm to start, seen11 deer, 3 nonshooters, then wind kicked in across the ridge. I don't sit in a tree in those winds, too many stories I have to tell. 32 and snow tomorrow but still 40+ winds. Gun season starts Mon, guess I'm screwed this year for bow, now rethinking a couple I passed. O well.
 
Spent my firearms season opener hunting with my kids.

Sat in the trusty hay bale blind this evening. Saw a spike. It was warm and the neighbor started riding his 4 wheeler all over his property just at primetime. That may have affected things.
