Default Roll the dice?

OK....we've got a cold front coming in tomorrow....and forecast is for rain starting late tomorrow afternoon. Temp's also going to be dropping in the afternoon.

I WANT to go into the best spot I've got tomorrow.....(haven't been in there yet).....and I've got a forecast E wind for the afternoon.

Here's the topo....and the spot I wanna go into is marked with a red dot. The yellow line is the trail I saw the bucks come down the other night. "IF" I go in.....the plan is to go in about 2PM.....set the tree umbrella up.....and wait 'em out. If they get up to move in front of the weather....I wanna be there.

They could be bedding anywhere in the green (clearcut area)....but the concentration of trees in the two spots are most likely the bedding areas. Even if they're not using the one to the SW.....I think they're probably using it to stage and rub/scrape.

I know this wind isn't "ideal".....but with the front coming in.....it ain't bad, either. Any scent I lay down going in will be washed out as I exit (by the rain)....no later than a few hours after I get out (in my mind, anyway).
