Hey Ryan, thanks bud.. I got up this morning at 4 30 and looked at that wind and just decided I cant cut any corners on the big 4x5.. so I crawled back into bed... Rarely do I ever get a NE wind and thats why most of my stands are set up for Southern or SW winds...This one stand you know right were its at for the stretch buck.. hes coming over that backside of that CLEARCUT you and I hunted elk up above and moving across it towards my stand.. The one up behindmy house.. anyway.. in this big country he has lots of options andits still a bit ofa long shot but at least the winds right.. I was seeing him at least 1-2 x a week in August up there with two younger bucks.. I've been hunting now so I havent been glassing that.. we'll se what shows up tonight..

Take care bud..


(Havent heard from Jeff ..yet... maybe he scored today, I sure hope so..)
