Talk About a DILEMA!!!!!!!!
Man,
I have tommorow off and I was planning on hunting. We had a very heavy rain storm today that kocked the temps down a good bit. The storm is moving out as we speak. Right now the temp is about 50 degrees, still warm but it has been in the mid 70' s here lately. Well, anyways, tonights low is supposed to be around 40 and the high for tommorow is supposed to be around 50 degrees.
PERFECT........ RIGHT? Nope. Tommorow morning there is a 30% chance of rain, which doesn' t bug me at all. Bring on the rain
but, there are also predicted winds as 30-35mph with gusts over 55 mph.
Now, here is my dilema........ Temps are great for tommorow moring, coolest it has been since season opened! Storm front moving out tonight....another great thing for hunting........ but, 35 mph winds, terrible for hunting, and really bad when a 145 pound guy is sitting 25 feet off the ground in a climbing treestand. [&:][&:]

Look at it this way, 145lbs put' s you at the advantage for wind resistance
Just position yourself on the wayward side of the tree and take advantage of the time off from work...With a harness of course. Good luck buddy.

RE: Talk About a DILEMA!!!!!!!!
I was sitting in my stand yesterday when these storms started to roll through. It went from calm and overcast to a wall of wind and rain. Thank god I was only about 200 yards from my house.
I' d go hunting if I had tomorrow off.

RE: Talk About a DILEMA!!!!!!!!
I know what you' re feeling BM. I' m off today and tomorrow and--as I type this--the wind is blowing at around 30 mph with gusts predicted to 55. I usually don' t see deer moving much during high winds (outside the rut), but the forecast calls for the winds to die down at around sunset today. Guess where I' ll be at sunset today?
