Will, I wish you were right!


No big boy last night. He didnt show his face on my side of the mountain. The wind was perfect going in and according to the FORCAST it would be all evening.. At 6:30 while on stand the wind did a complete 180 and starting blowing right out to where I didnt want it to...

I got on my phone internet and checked the wind direction and sure enough it did a 180... GRRRRRRRRRRR so I contimplated getting out of there but figured if thebuck was close he'd really hear me and pin point me. Scent lok suit and all I don't believe many old bucks will tolerate any human odor.. Now I cant even say he was going to show up there last night since hes basically the only deer I am hunting in this 100 acre area.. or so.. Nothing showed all night..

I did get to watch the elk herd in my binocs for a good hour... I am leaving them alone until Hia gets here.. Or unless the come wandering by... I saw that two new bulls showed up.. so now theres a 5x6, 5x5(big bodied) and 4x5... along with about 6 spikes hanging out on the perimeter...

Back at it tonight... I really hope I have a southern wind by 3-4 pm tonight so I can go hunt the 4x5 and give Stretch a break for a day..if not I am going to hunt the Stretch buck on the other side of the ridge..down in a big draw where I know he uses and comes down through some evenings..

If I get a solid North wind..I will be right back were I was last night.. but I am gonna move in closer.. this time..
