What a crappy weekend for hunting here in Minnesota. Rain on Saturday and wind and rain on Sunday. It was so windy about a 25 foot ‘branch’ broke off and hit me while in the stand last night. Nice bruise on my arm as I cowered in the tree. Luckily it was more the top of the branch that hit me. needless to say, I got down and went home. Didn’t see a deer this weekend. I saw one right away on opening morning and then I haven’t seen one my last 5 times out.
A 9 pointer w/ a split brow tine and a decent 8 are spending a lot of time on my land. Eventually, I would think I’m going to run into one of them on the stand. We’ll see…
