RE: It' s the rut--but with 50 mph winds?
I was out this morning and about the time I left my stand the winds were just starting to pick up. They should be gusting to 50 mph by this afternoon.
If you' ve got the time to go, I say go. I would avoid sitting in a treestand but I would certainly be in the woods one way or another. The rut is in full swing right now and every minute you spend in the woods is one minute closer to getting a crack at that big one.
