Got 7" of snow overnight and still coming down so another cup of coffee and warm up the quad and get to plowing. Hope it slows for an evening sit. good luck to those going out today.

I think I'm the only one on here that knows you aren't white.

I’ll be out this afternoon. Only have a doe tag and I just haven’t seen morning movement to justify putting scent out there.
So far cameras have showed I made the right choice. Stoking fire and having a cup of coffee.

Too windy for a tree and not enough motivation to go on a walkabout, so I stayed close to home. Will bail for lunch and some errands, then I'll decide how to spent my afternoon. Comfort for the win today. And I saw a buck 2 minutes after I got in the blind, so it'll statistically as good a day as yesterday 
We have all sorts of scenarios, strategies, and options. More often than not, it doesn't work in our favor. I'm sitting here wondering if I should have done something else. It's slow. Had I gone with plan B I'd be kicking myself and wishing I was here. Going to stay in this tree 21' up and enjoy the single digits. Things can heat up in a moments notice. Good luck all!
Yesterday evening results. All day hunt, netted one doe sighting. Got down out of the stand and did a slow walk about.

That frigging predator camo rocks in this cold weather! Thanks again buddy!
My cameras are all active this morning. Its cold. The deer are hungry. Good luck guys that are out.
Cameras slow. Woods slow. I did spy a young buck licking his junk 100yds thru the trees though. Not a total bust. 
Come on Phil. I'm calling that a total bust for everyone except the resident testiphile.Cameras slow. Woods slow. I did spy a young buck licking his junk 100yds thru the trees though. Not a total bust.

No deer, no shots,
just me and my thoughts.
I think about the weather,
this snow and the wind.
I sip on the coffee,
and wonder when will it begin?

The DNR says they're here,
but me and my friends,
think they've been in the beer.

I haven't seen another hunter,
do they only hunt with a bow?

This, is starting to blow.

1 shot heard this morning. Sat until 8, still hunted/scouted a long ridge system. Wind more brutal than yesterday 
Like American Express, I don't leave home without it. My first hunt using it was in 2012 and I killed a 5.5 year old buck at 8 steps after he'd walked down my 3 hour old access route. Been sold ever since and use it liberally with great results. I even smear it on licking branches. To me, it's the most deer-smelling scent I've ever smelled.

Do you apply it to your boots or just the area in and around your blind/stand?
Both. I apply a quick smear to the bottom of my boot, then once I'm in the stand, I'll smear some on my treestand/blind/tree. I usually leave the cap off so it can continue to waft its deery goodness during the hunt.
