Great time to be on the ground with a Rancho Safari "Guille" longcoat. Wind in your face and play the game. Can't kill anything in camp but time. Good luck.  :bigsmyl:

Not hunting, but will use this storm to scout this evening for known buck areas to check for sign this year. IF, it is not lightning or raining so hard we can't see, haha ! Love to do my scouting on windy, stormy days to cover scent and noise. Two years ago I walked up on a 140" in a drizzle but he still saw me before I saw him and he was off to the races. Found his core area and almost sealed the deal on him two days later but a wind change at 70 yds got me busted before he came into range, RATS !!! Never seen him again that season.

I sat in the tree the other night. Just because I had the time and never saw a single deer and that is very strange for the place I stomp. Wind was bad so didn't expect much movement. Now once it calms down I surely want to be out as we like you have had many windy days (and nights) in a row. We also got some long needed rain today. Going to quiet those extra crunchy leaves.

By Casper standards, it isn't anything different than 'normal' wind, but here in Buffalo we don't get nearly as much 25-35mph breezes. I went out this morning and put up with it, and saw a bunch of deer, along with the biggest buck that I have seen this season. I used the wind to put a stalk on what I thought was a doe, and as I got close enough for a shot saw that it was a button buck, so didn't get anything but another stalking experience out of the deal. I'll go back out in the wind this afternoon; you just never know, but I have learned that it is hard to kill a deer from my easy chair in the den.

With the wind ranging between 50-60 MPH in Illinois today, you are a braver sole than I am Ranger. I wouldn't have gone today even if I could! It would have turned me into a camo clad windsock.

Plan on going Saturday because the temps are dropping, only problem is the wind will be up to 25mph. Don't have much choice but should be exciting.

I went out and moved a stand this afternoon. The wind was calm at fist then started to pick up limbs falling every were. I got the heck out of dodge. I have a friend that almost lost his ear to a tree limb once while he was out checking his cattle fence

Where I live and how I hunt it is the best time for spot and stalk.The largest deer I ever arrowed it was 45-50 mph all day.

I did this evening and didn't see a thing, not even a squirrel.

It was closing in on dark thirty and I was packing up to slip out when I was blown away by one that was coming up the draw from behind me.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

God bless,Mudd
