Play the thermals.  They should pull harder than the wind is going. Once that sun dips and you can have a slope of a hill to your back side the thermals should pull down the hill and away from expected deer travel.

My land is flat as a pancake. There isn't more than a 2ft rise across the whole place. Lol

I'm eyeing one stand that is ok for a N and W wind so might end up there if I go. Hopefully a successful morn will make the decision for me.

So I let that 8 pt walk last night. Go to the same stand 4:00. Put out a wick of Golden Estorous. 10 minutes later a shooter comes walking in the same way the 8 pt did last night. Stops 20 yards behind a tree I draw and my finger hits the release. Arrow flies out at 1/4 draw bangs against a tree. He stops knows something is up and drifts off. Wish video was better but he was a big one. Way outside his ears when walking away.

Do you have a ground blind to pop up and sit in?

I took a day off and snuck into a stand where thick brush meets open woods. 32 F to start, light winds and dry leaves so I had to slowly tip toe the last 200 yards. Shortly after getting settled into my stand I caught glimpses of a nice buck with a doe back in the brush. He grunted a few times and I hear branches braking as the headed away from me.

I had a few doe and a 4 pt pass by around 9:45 and saw a couple small bucks toward the end of the day. I didn't hear or see any chasing. The light fickle winds tipped off a bunch of deer of my presence I'm sure but it was a good sit. I'm hoping the winds will stay out of the south for this mornings sit. 33F here in Livingston county. Good luck to all.  >>>--------->

Misses and I are up getting around,  this will be our 3 rd sit. We’ll be ramping up our effort's these next few weeks. Pulled the camera cards last Saturday and the wide 6 is still alive from last  year. 
First picture is him last year ,second one is same camera same tree he’s probably 60 yards from camera vs first he’s 30 .  so he’s grown some since . And this small 9 is new . Good luck to all.

Live from the couch/picture window.  My lower back is still all jacked up. Frosty and nothing moving yet besides our grumpy horses.  Not even a chickadee.  This frost would make a cruising buck easy to spot.

Good luck to everyone who is out.  I will be out there for the PM, one way or another.
