i hear you on the coniferous trees Joey...i go there in search of pretty much ALL game in foul weather...theres only 1 block of coniferous trees on the SGLs that i know of, CRAP...theres 2 that i know of now that i think about it...1 is close to my spring gobbler spot...its honestly probably too far to drag out alone...exspecially bow season carrying the stand and gear...i carried a turkey outta there and its just a long hike...i dont mind the hike, but dragging a 150lb deer plus my gear out, im looking at many hours...just usually better deer hunting closer than that...but i just thought of the other one i know of, and i wanted to hunt it once the leaves fell off...forgot about that because i tagged out early last season...found a dandy lookin point next to the thick stand of hemlocks..i just needed the leaves to fall so i could see..pretty thick point...may have to hit that soon...

i didnt make it out at all today [:'(] i dont mind rain...i dont mind cold...but i dont do heavy wind...ive had some rather close calls already in my life with being in the woods in windy conditions...i just wont be in a tree and try not to be in the woods period when its anything more than breezy...i remember one night when i was real young coonhunting with dad...windstorm came and trees were blowing down all around us...i cant remember where we went for saftey...but i think dad pretty much laid overtop of me...i was probably 6 or 7...theres been a couple other times that were pretty similar...just no reason to risk it IMO...


thursday is lookin like my next day out...buddy keeps talkin about going to his camp(where i killed mine last year) we'll see what he decides...if weather was better yesterday and today, i woulda went up yesterday after class....deer up there seem to respond to calling prettttty dang well, and seem to get froggy sooner...i cant explain it...its overrun with doe compared to anywhere else i hunt....

keep at it guys!!! 1 down, 9 to go!!!
