Early ML weather

[davers]

We are silly with them. Like walking on marbles.

We haven't had a good crop of acorns in five years. My guess is late Spring freezes the past five years.

Actual condoms work too. That's what we used back in my frat house days

Shew...I dont know about going to the store asking for something that'll cover an inch or two down on a half inch pole That'll get folks talking!

No pun intended, but that's a stretch.

Well they've dropped the lows for Friday night, thank goodness, but the wind seems to be picking up for the weekend. I hate wind in my area. It's so unpredictable.

Same. I just go. If it’s real windy I don’t hunt. But the direction stuff is irrelevant where I hunt. It will literally hit you in the face and 5 mins later the back of the head at any time. You can have multiple set ups and you’ll face the same dilemma.

In the hills of eastern Kentucky where I hunt you can watch the wind change every 4 minutes. Not terribly long ago I built a fire and watched the smoke over a 10 minute period and it changed 11 times that went in complete opposite directions. I still try to play the wind but it’s a “try to” at best here.

I listened to Roger Raglin one time talking on setting up for the correct wind. I sent him a email and asked if he'd ever applied that in eastern Kentucky or along the Appalachian.
His response was "you guys in hill country just gotta hunt".

I agree with him. But I will say I hunt in a few box blinds and they help a ton with scent control.

 

[bondhu]

Agree on that too. I dont understand why but they do.

I even think ground blinds help. I like stands better but I think blinds are better for the wind. At least where I hunt.

I'll be hunting period but I will not go to my best spots. I'll get as high as I can where the wind direction is more consistent and still hunt. Will probably make a few scrapes and hang cameras on them.
Most of the buck activity is high at the moment anyway.
