another evening of nothing for ole mauser......

wind was terrible...swirling every time it would blow!!!! i wanted to pull my hair out....and it was blowing a little harder than i would have liked...no beating it, the wind is always a little stiffer up there...

sooo i walked clear out the ridge i hunted last time...went 150yds past the stand i hunted last time and right a bit...beautiful point and bench...grape vines, white oaks, and the transition area of where the loggers cut..20-30 years ago....just a picture perfect DEER stand IMO...soon as i setup i spotted a gray squirrel...i been hunting that game lands since i was 12 and i cannot ever remember seeing a gray squirrel...REAL weird area...tons of oaks, but NO squirrels...i only ever shot 1 fox squirrel up there and 1 red...seen a couple more reds through the years...but just NO squirrels...i dont know why..its perfect squirrel woods...so that got me pumped....

last 20 minutes of light i hear serious crunching...i was calling every hour or so...it was too late to be turkeys...sounded like a group of deer...then i thought for sure it was a buck scraping and rubbing....i grabbed the grunt tube trying to get him there before light faded...maybe 50-60yds just outta view...i thought. i must spotted 3 or 4 more gray squirrels lol...

beautiful evening minus the wind...surprised that most trees are bare already...guess i missed it got pretty dang chilly...was kicking myself for not wearing my colder weather gear...any colder and i woulda been COLD

wont be long now....im pumped to get back home Halloween weekend...

tomorrow looks like a bust....11-21 mph wind with 31mph gusts...definently sleeping in...maybe thing will die down and i can get out for an evening hunt....
