Haa, that's a little nipplie. I blew it off this morning, but it's perfect here. I needed to come to work anyway. Our gun season starts tomorrow with heavy rain tomorrow afternoon.

Better have your umbrella. Good Luck.
FWIW - my buddy just killed a 2yo 7point this morning on my place. he was chasing 5 doe in circles around the stand. That makes at least 5 weekends in a row that we have caught bucks chasing does hard here. No lull between first and second rutt. Very strange year.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Just about impossible to get around on the mountain in Sherburne today, snow was still just below the knees (and deeper in places)....

Recap of yesterday : Missed a nice tom but did get to enjoy the glow from the lite nocks, yes 2 of them. I watched a skid steer work in the patch of hard woods where that shooter comes from and had a guy walked right to my hanging stand at 3:45 pm, look up and ask if I was hunting?? because he wanted to WTF !!! Sometimes what you have to deal with hunting smaller pieces of woods on Long Island....Better luck this afternoon.

After yesterdays fiasco I hunted a spot this afternoon where my bud wounded one two weeks ago...Low and behold it appears the white horned, wide and tall mature 8 pt is alive and well with a bit of a limp coming from his left shoulder....That didn't seem to slow him down chasing does though. I believe the wind is right in the morning so I'll give it a shot.
