I truly belong on this team! I have brewed 70 gallons of beer this year and I will kill a few deer....
Work, weather, and fishing have kept me out of the woods and this weekend looks to be the same, windy as all get out all weekend long. I'm off on Monday and it looks to be a little better weather wise.
Not worried though, my plan this year with limited time in the stand was to not burnt out my spots in the first month. From 10/21-11/14 I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the woods and my stands are going to be fresh and the pressure low. Hoping this strategy pays off!

Well, we didn't see anything tonight except for one Groundhog at 30 yards. I told the boys if it got to the corn pile I would shoot it, but it never stepped out of the field edge. It's been 3 hunts since I have seen a deer, with all three days being windy, raining, or both. Hoping that is the reason for the lack of deer. I am heading to a new property this week. should be an interesting week of duck/goose in the morning, and deer in the evening. Hope everyone else has a good week!
Well it's time to flip the switch. As soon as the rain clears out I will be hitting the stand as much as I can. Hopefully my "no pressure early season" tactic pays off. May have waited a week or so too long for an early season doe tag fill, cause you never know what may be in tow this time of year.

Sorry I haven't had time too post much. Another week and I should have some time to be out in the woods.
Skunked tonight on my first evening in the stand, but learned a lot on the walk out. A couple adjustments in the setup and I should be on them.
Posting more details in my hunting journal thread, but will keep this one up totonight date as well with a general recap.
Good luck to the rest of you guys that are getting out this week.

Yeah I was unable to hunt lastnight, probably won't make it in until Sat-Sun-Mon now this week. Best of luck if you make it out this week.
