Down here in Missouri, the deer do not like to stay in the corn fields during high winds. That may drive them back into the bedding areas and help our hunting. I hope!

I may have screwed up tonight. I let a good one walk. Sad part is my video was focusing on a limb 10 feet in front of me as he walked away

Forgot to post this the other day. I posted this buck but not his battering ram. Turn the V up.

The kids I have hunting down here said they saw 15 different bucks chasing yesterday afternoon on one farm. and it was over 70 degrees. Maybe there will be hope yet for the big ones to come out with the cooler weather this weekend!

Man I wish I hunted in an area where mature bucks just wander around in the daylight. Pretty much does not happen in SE Alabama, especially on my place, even with very limited pressure.Also would be nice to hunt a place where I could actually pass on a deer like that last video because it was likely something larger would be along.You guys do not know how good you have it.

Last try before rifle season starts tomorrow. Hunting public land, a hardwood forest with thick brush in the background of this pic. Behind that is a little creek with even thicker stuff.

Got off track walking in and ended up about 100 yards closer to a busy road than I wanted, but I would think the deer in here would be used to the road noise.

No we know, and we appreciate the heck out of it.

You can have it good as well! I have one of the best 200 acre hunting pieces in Worth County Missouri for sale. Get your check book out! LOL

The Bucks even stand there for selfies! LOL

Normally with a temp drop like this, I would be all excited to get out in the morning:

But when it comes with a forecast like this, I'm not nearly as excited:

For the first time maybe ever, I think Jake and I are going to take opening morning off!

Taking opening morning off. Isn't that against the law in this state?

You are correct sir that is against the law

 

[John-W-WI]

I'm sure it is.

I could stand an hour or two I'm sure, but with that kind of wind I don't think Jake would make it a half hour.

We will sleep in and take our chances with the authorities

My wife is sitting out tomorrow morning, as the box blind I built for her was blown over this afternoon. The stakes holding the supports to keep it from tipping were obviously not deep enough.

Only in Wisconsin do weather advisories mention deer hunting!

That sucks. I'm hoping the one we built for my dad is alright. This is the first wind storm since we finished building it.

Be careful out there ,our wind finally died down here in Kansas.Thats why I have a pole set in cement on the north and south side of my elevated blinds

Well it's opening morning wind blowing and Mr heater going. Hope everyone has a good hunt and stay safe.

Had to lower my portable ladder stand from 12 ft high down to 6. Seriously felt like I was going to blow over.

It took til 20 minutes after opening to hear a shot. Normally I hear a couple 20 minutes before light. So far I've heard 2 shots way in the distance. I think the numbers this year are really going to be down...
