RE: Got my deer already
 

RemLover,To answer your question about the wind.YES It does cause the deer to move less and also makes them more cautious when they do move.Somethin you might wanna try is,find the thickest spot you can.You won' t be able to see far and a tree stand really helps.That' s where the deer are goin to be.They may hit the thick stuff and lay downbut it' s not uncommon for a deer to get up and move around 5 or 6 times in a day.That' s when you' ll have a chance to take one and they will usually just be walkin slowly cause they feel safe.Good Luck

I had good luck hunting in Washington County, we have approx. 200 acres we hunt near the WV border. I got into the woods about 0630 and perched in a wooden treestand I built a few years ago. I' m about 240 lbs, so its difficult for me to ascend this stand in silence. At about 0715, it became light enough to shoot and much to my surprise a nice buck was bedded about 100 yards to my left, it never spooked when I walked in, must have used that wind to my advantage. The deer noticed that I was there, but stood up and fed in an area that did not present a shot. After a few minutes it began walking and I was able to get off a shot. Idowned the deer at about 80 to 100 yards. A nice 8 pt with a 15" spread, I consider it a great deer for the 4 point restriction in Washington County. good luck to everyone else.

congrats to the ones that scored. :D. The wind really makes it hard for natural movement, but when the drivers come out it just doesn' t matter what its doing out there.

Good luck the rest of the 2 weeks and above all be safe out there and have Fun.
