RE: Indiana Hunters
Yesterday morning there were 2 dead bucks along I69 north of Ft. Wayne. One was smaller...probably a 6. The other one was bigger...but was gone a few hours later when I drove home.

Was out this morning and it was windy as heck. Did not figure i would see much. About 7:30 i look up and here comes a buck. Half racked 2 pointer lol. He looked like he was lost. I don't know if the rut had him messed up or if he was just skiddish with the high wind. Seen nothing for about the next hour and was thinking about getting down. Looked back and seen 2 doe just casually walking along. 5 minutes later i see a buck, and he is hot after one of the does. He ended up pushing her out of sight and they were gone. 20 minutes later, the does were back, and here he came, same spot i shot my 8 last year. Gave me a perfect 10 yard shot but i passed. He was a nice 8 point with a big body, but not quite as big as my buck from last year so i decided to pass him up. He ended up busting me too. He will be real good next year, but if my bro wants to shoot him next weekend that would be ok too. I'd like to see him get a deer more then myself this year.

Went out this morning, was supposed to be about 5mph winds. They were at least 15 mph.
3 tiny does, thats it.
Would be nice if i could get a day to hunt where it's not either 75 degrees or windy as heck.

I know a front is moving into our area soon....but in terms of wind speeds they're harder to predict than temperatures. Usually 'next day' forcasts are close on temps...but winds vary SO much based on the land around you...that even 'next day' wind forcasts are junk.
When it's actually windy, I don't mind it if I can sit on the opposite side of the woods that the winds are coming from. I can handle cold temps fairly easy....but add in a high wind and I'm likea little girl wanting to go home.

Last i checked it was around 14mph for saturday, but im sure that will change by then. I actually had decent movement saturday morning in the wind, but i think the sudden drop in temps after a week of 70's had a lot to do with that. Need to get out this week and shoot my gun, going to try the Lightfield Hybrid sabots this season for the first time. Found them on sale for about 6 dollars off a box.
