Awake at 3am with no alarm set. Fell asleep knowing I didn't want to hunt the only stand which works for this wind. The property is good in the rut. Decent amount of does. Too much human traffic. Not enough cover once the crops are off. Right now. . . the crops are off so not enough cover. I don't have a camera hung. I have been in this woods once in the last 6mo. I am trying to justify or talk myself into hunting one of the other stands which doesn't work on this wind. I know better than to do so. Since it is nearly 4am now and I am wide awake. . . I am going to lay it up. Swing for just short of the green, play it safe, don't swing for the green, and hunt the stand I doubt I see a "good" buck. You just never know. When I took a ride through this woods earlier this week, there didn't appear to be as much human sign in the woods. The corn just came off this week. It is possible a decent buck is holed up in there and hasn't been pushed out yet. Self discipline sucks. Getting in the woods with no expectations just for the love of hunting. . . .That in itself is rewarding! Good luck to those heading out today.
