Wind!

[growalot]

I'll say it's windy...It has cleared part of the driveway. When I was out on a slow stalk the trees were snapping and falling all over.....widow makers galore coming down and one broke the railing on the blind I was in...that was when I called it a morning. I'm not to sure it's worth the risk going out this afternoon. Snowing and 20-30 mph sustained winds  with 50mph gusts...and that's no joke I believe they are! Ma nature's cleaning house again...Wish she wouldn't leave her cleaning piles on my trails...

In a bit I'll post a pic for you of some fun I had in the wind this morning.  It was a miserable (and fruitless) 4.5 hours in the saddle to say the least!

[growalot]

I can't like that ,but understand...guys at camp are getting the same...but they don't have the worry of falling trees I have...whole different type of wood lot down there. No maples

[Lawdwaz]

I was joking of course with the "fun" part of it.............I heard a loud crashing during the heavy winds and saw the power lines about 40 yards away shaking violently and all the snow coming off them.  After the 20 second blizzard of snow coming off the tree I saw something that wasn't there seconds before.  I cleaned the snow off my binos and glassed a tree across the seasonal driveway that parallels the driveway.  After a I climbed down from the stand I took a walk over to check it out.  Turns out it was two trees, the top of the one brushed the power line but fortunately didn't pull them down.  I snapped a quick pic and beat feet...........

I only ventured out to bust up some kindling, but the wind was flat-out pullin' the snot outta my nose for an hour. No thanks.

Be careful out there everyone.

My eyes are so buggy and tired from staring into the wind and snow from dawn to 2:30. Seriously considering ski goggles for craptastic days like today 

[BizCT]

Wind was brutal today. All day over 20mph. Tomorrow looks worse. Sucks

The wind was gusting and making my tree stand sway pretty bad Saturday afternoon, it wasn't a fun sit.. I opted to still hunt on the ground this am and will sit on the ground tomorrow. It's just too windy to be up in a tree stand.  I guess the deer are hunkered down pretty good with all this wind. I didn't see many today, very few hunters out and didn't hear much shooting. That was the quietest opening weekend I've ever seen by far.

Hunted in that wind and falling grapple for 7 hours today. What a great day for a deer harvest. One buck doe is hanging tonight.

I usually take this week off after the sun tanning Saturday and the extreme wind and snow today, which is expected through tomorrow, I called my boss and going to work tomorrow and traded my day off for next Monday this weather is just to extreme to hunt with any enjoyment,,,.

[nybuckboy]

Here's where I will sitting tomorrow looking onto the 1.5 acre food plot. I'll be out of the elements and it's all insulated. There is a group of about 7 or 8 does that will need to feed and there was a buck with them last night. Hoping his big brother comes around tomorrow.

[Bowshotmuzzleloader]

Now that's a Shitter !!!!!

Sweet ...

Looks like a multi-port unit, lovely. 

[Pygmy]

Hehehehehe..Too hairy for this old coot..I plan to sleep in tomorrow morning and cook a big breakfast for  The Mermaid, my Canadian guest and myself ...  I've been "around the horn" too many times to go out in THAT stuff....

From what I'm hearing right now, it sounds like the wind is howling pretty good today too. I'm not going out today. I've got to put the plow on and clean out my driveway ....... maybe a couple of times according to the forecast.

[Deerstalker]

Sounds like a  hurricane outside !

[genesee_mohican]

I have the week off so am getting ready to head out for a bit, I will hunker down on the ground for awhile. Why must the wind blow so hard on the start of opening week?  I will ask ma nature while I'm out there. Tues eve sit is looking good, and calm winds on Wednesday, so get out then if you can.

[BigVal]

On stand for 20 min 9m this time about 10 inches on the ground very windy but tolerable

Windy again today as well!!!

[LET EM GROW]

Last night was real windy, and with snow on the ground it made great still hunting conditions. And perfect conditions to sit over the cut corn. Everything but what i wanted to harvest showed up in the corn lol.  

I love gun hunting weather like this. Though the winds could calm down some for sure. As grow said trees and branches were falling everywhere. On my way back to the car i followed my tracks which had a buck walking in them as well, right back to my vehicle lol ended up being the little 4pt my wife calls "Buddy"

Stalking is great in this windy weather but, does wear a person out. I removed my legs and let them stand in the corner along side of the long gun. Sure glad I pick up an extra pair at Red Head when they ran the sale, LOL.
