Wind is terrible here today as well, I elected to stay out of my area tonight.
Awesome ordeal on the bruiser, I saw an IDENTICAL buck to what you describe Tuesday AM....seein something like that sure does fuel the fire to stay on stand doesnt it?

Good luck getting to him.
SAT should be perfect conditions...light wind, high in low 50s, cool crisp day should explode deer movement...orange army gets to head out Saturday as well though....I plan on sitting all day, if for nothing else, to hear how the neighboring rifle hunters fare for opening day. 2-3 of them wont head out again after opening weekend.
