[Wind Gypsy]

I found the biggest buck we’ve had on cam the last two years by my parents property on adjacent public last year. He’s been on cameras in a large range the last couple weeks but trying to to catch him back where we first saw him this time last year. Wind is playing games with my emotions though.

Slept in this morning son had a thing out of town and on his way he saw a good buck breeding a doe in the middle of a cut corn field. I haven't seen any rut actionat all and watched 2 does feed in the field for an hour last night. This is the time I like to remind myself I really have no idea what I'm doing but damn it I love it. WSW wind tonight so I'm in the field again jumped 2good does right as I made the turn to the field so who knows. Good luck everyone

I decided to sit in a blind, it is good for south west wind, and south wind, west wind, meh. But I figured I maybe able to contain some of my scent in the blind with closing some of the windows. It was this, or sit on the chair watching tv.

I sighted in my bow, it was on at 20-40 yards, so I felt confident enough to go for another try.

So, how do you hunt this wind? Or do you stay home ? Hunt the wind for the prime time?

I sat all day in 40 plus gusts in a fencerow and killed my deer at 11am. Would the movement have been better with low wind sure. I killed my biggest bucks I date when it was 68 in November. I think this time of the year anything goes as far as what could walk by your stand. I hate the term can’t kill them from the couch but during the first half of November truer words have never been spoken. I kill a lot of deer by sitting on the couch but I kill them in November by sitting on the couch in October. Just what works for me.

Had to scratch the deer itch so I went "pheasant hunting" on some local stuff close to the house. Found some smoking hot rubs and was able to learn a better kill set up for next fall.

Piper managed to kick up one old bird.
24inch tailfeather. Has me thinking the spot might be getting overlooked.

I only had a little buck, and he hung out in front of me until dark.



Then as soon as I got in the house, I get this guys picture, but to dark anyhow.

I feel ya little orphan Andy from 4 to 515. 3ptr ran the south end of the field and snuck up on my son at 35 yds and a doe played in the tall grass but never would enter the field. When I was leaving something snorted me but it was to dark to do anything. My dad did see my target buck at 45 yds but never had a shot. Guess I'll try to fun him down next weekend.

I remembered my sites don’t glow well while hunting in a blind. My other bow that has the lighted pins hasn’t been shot in 5 years, I am not about to take it out of its case to sit in a blind. Better winds in the morning, so I will pick a stand.

Didn't see anything this morning, then when firing my practice arrow to uncock my Xbow, the string broke. Guess I'm done. Good thing it's just a week to rifle season.

Didn't give it a thorough inspection yet.

Arkansas Lsu game kept me up entirely to late, but a thermos of coffee and we're at it.
Good luck all.
