I still have not been out yet. I have plans for this week. However, last week I tweaked my rest so now I need to tune in my bow this weekend. I'm just so busy launching my new company. I do promise to put a buck on the board bigger then last year. I'm not so sure I'll pass up a decent buck waiting for my dream buck do to the time I have available in the woods this year. Who knows, I'm always talking myself out of shooting a darn deer for one reason or another.

Went out last night in front of this rain front that we are getting now, in hopes that they would be moving. I only saw one doe and my shot nicked a branck and went harmlessly under her belly. My buddy was hunting my oak stand and he said that at last light the bruiser came by about 35 yards and never presented a shot, He said the he had a rack that is,as he put it, "just enormous". Guess where I'll be this weekend and Monday.

Sounds good to me. I'll be out this weekend, although the wind direction is really going to give me a challenge. We are supposed to have NE winds at 10-15mph, which completly blows seeing as my stand is set up for a NW to W, even SW or E wind... ANYTHING but a NE wind. That's exactly the direction they most often come in from. I'm thinking one of two things... still hunt a different section of the property, or count on the strong winds carrying my scent over their noses. My stand this year is at least 22'. Not sure what to do. The wind is either with you or against you.




BTW fellas, let's all pitch in and abide by the rules - let's say we allgrab thesmaller logo?

Going out at the end of the week. Don't know what to expect but I'm praying the idiots from last year lost access to the field next door because the houses are finished. Eitherway I may pull and all dayer on Friday because it may be my last day to hunt until next month.

I hear ya, fieldmouse. I tried my hardest to get out this past weekend but wound up too busy with family stuff and winterising mowers and whatnot. Besides, it was almost 70. Way too warm for me still.

This coming weekend is calling for rain, so who knows when I can get out. Kind of a frustarting season so far though.
