Damn this nor'easter!!
Well, today makes the THIRD day of this fricken nor'easter that's kept me from hunting! Tons of cold rain and wind. It figures, I get three days off and it has to rain.
Had to vent! Anyone else?

^%#& wind and rain has been a killer. I could have hunted yesterday and today but it was not to be.
Right now were between a couple of fronts carrying alot of rain. I knew it would have been a good morning to be in the woods but at 4AM there was no rain but NO break in the wind at all.

I'm sitting here thinking how I only get X amount of days to hunt, so I'm thinking about toughing it out, rain/wind or not, this evening. These are probably the very worst hunting conditions that you can get, but I did kill a doe on Oct 7th while hunting with VERY windy conditions. Most likely the windiest day I've ever hunted. If it's pouring I'll stay home, but if it's just basic light rain I'm in the game. We'll see. You've gotta play to win!! I'll let ya'll know what happens tonight.
