I've been ready to get out since season opened, but every time I have a chance to go, the wind is ridiculous. I thought about going out today, but the wind was 20 mph, gusting to 30. I never did like sitting in a tree when its that breezy...

I can go one better than that. I've been having the same problem here in Ohio. So tonight it's 21 mph winds and I go anyway. Get all set up and nock my arrow and the rest has loosened up. I mean real loose. Pick up all my stuff and went back home.. I did get everything back to where it was and I'm good to go in the morning.

Was out last night and today. Beautiful night to be out tonight. I had a lot of does come in and feed on some corn we just knocked down. I had plenty of shots at 20 yards but was holding out for a buck.
Hopefully they can add the alternatives on to teams soon. I know there are guys trying to jump into the competition. If we don't get a full team soon I have a bad feeling we don't have a chance.

Went out Friday & Saturday, too. Wind was totally wrong for hunting my favorite stands, so I tried hang back a bit. Ended up hanging a little too far back and only saw a few does, but never got a shot. No worries - I'm just gettin started and there's a whole lot of hunting season left!

I went out a few times Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I'm finally starting to see some decent bucks on my trail cams, and I saw one one of them a couple times over the weekend. Never got a shot at him, but the season is just getting started, so I'm still pretty optimistic.
