I'd say your fine as long as you watch for dead stuff

Should be good if your in a solid tree. Might sway a little. Hope you don’t have motion sickness.
10-15 is fairly normal during the day. Like others said, keep an eye above for dead stuff and you will be fine. 20 mph can be uncomfortable. 25+ dangerous but I have had many top end bucks on trail cam during 30-40 mph winds. Hunters like to use the excuse that they don’t move on windy days so they don’t have to endure it themselves. Sometimes the deer are skittish on windy days but they still move about.
Appreciate the feedback....I figured 10-15 was normal, so as is typically the case I was just overthinking things. Good luck to everyone getting out this weekend. Looking forward to seeing some IKS threads over the next few days.

Idk if that’s the beer talking or if your auto correct wasn’t working properly
Shitty signal and a kooked out autocorrect. No comment on the beers.

Up on peach ridge where Dave was kind enough to let me hit a piece of private he has up here. Seems deery

Leaving at 4 am tomorrow morning hoping for a good day so I can relax Sunday
Looks like the rain quit just in time. A bit breezy, but in a favorable direction. We shall see…

Early muzzleloader in Kentucky. Qhen we pulled into the farm last night a big 8 was crossing the drive I ran him back into the woods thats I'm sitting in. Crazy thing is we have no pictures of him up here. Either just showed up or he's avoiding the cams and corn piles. A little windy from the storms coming thru but the Temps are dropping.

Back in the set I was in yesterday evening. Opening day of rifle down here but I still have the old smoke pole with me. Saw a 6, an 8, and a doe yesterday. Hopefully something to shoot at walks. Have not heard any shoots yet which may be a first for my last 20 years if hunting here.

Saw the same big 4 point I saw a few weeks ago. Almost out to his ears and about 8 inch tines. Just glassing from a hill now, I’m thoroughly soaked lol
Feels good to be in the woods. Glad I stepped up one level in regards to pants choice. Bit cooler than I anticipated. Had to run a forkhorn out of beans on walk in. Now I have what sounds like a cat in heat in the corn I'm sitting over. Be safe and good luck to those of you out hunting.
Good luck to all you 'TOO' hunters this evening!
Hiked in at noon-30 w/ bow & climbing gear into these big woods. Saw 2 antlerless just before setting up on top of this big ridge, right in between 3 massive oak trees w/ fresh acorns all over the place, ready @2:00 p.m.sharp. Now simply waiting on the deer to head towards me for either acorns and/or corn, which the cornfield is another 300-400 yards further to the West. Some good bedding areas are right behind me.
Cornfield to West & this evening's tree setup.
Massive Oak Trees w/ fresh acorns all over the place around & underneath me, and a baby Oak Tree, also just below me.
View from the stand looking towards the West-NW, over the top of the ridge to the other side.

Up and set at 3:45 in eastern OH on public. In an oak overlooking a patch of beautiful clover where we’ve been seeing them on camera. Little breezy for my liking but this valley is the most sheltered area here with the wind direction. This area has the heaviest buck sign we’ve located on this property so far. Found a 4 leaf clover on my walk in… I hope that’s a good omen lol. Fingers crossed! Feels great to be hunting a cold front! Best of luck to everyone out there!

Hunting the same setup on public as my last couple hunts. Forecast called for a W wind which was ehh, blowing strong from the SW which is titties. Solid cold front and post rain, should have em up and moving. Scrapes haven’t been touched yet, but there is a new rub on a fairly big tree. With the amount of deer here I would have to imagine there’s at least one mature buck using this area. @OhioWhiteTails is also hunting out here with me but about a mile away from me. Fingers crossed, it sure feels deery out. Good luck TOO anyone else out.

Sat up in the mountains on public this afternoon in the 20-30 winds. Surprisingly I had 2 does come into bow range but they just would not give me anything to shoot at.
