Ha thx Philtuts

Nor gonna happen this morning unless he decides to surprise me. Climbing down in half hour or so. If anything changes yall will know. Otherwise I'll see you this afternoon.

Did I mention the cloud cover is back and the wind has a serious bite to it? Like snow? Lovely

Back in stand on a windy, spitting snow and rainy iowa afternoon

In sitting on a thin strip of woods in the middle of giant fields behind the farmhouse lodge. I have a flooded cut bean field to my back, crp and cut corn in front with more crp,cut corn and cut beans in every direction as far as I can see.

It's 35 and the winds are kicking me hard from the sw which is in my left ear.

Pics from left to right and loving at my location map, everything in dark green and most of what's brown is crp. The deer are laid up in that and hopefully using my 8 yard wide treeline to travel

2:15 ...about 3 hours to go!

Good luck guys!! Just now catching up. Been on the road to Kansas!! Myself, hogman3, and two others have made it to Lyndon, Kansas! We spent the morning making sure our rifles are on target and scouting where we want to hunt. We're in Topeka right now spending a little time at a restaurant known for it's wings and pretty waitresses...

We'll be live tomorrow for the rifle opener!!

Good luck Jim, you all are really putting in some time this year.
Are you all seeing any ducks taking advantage of all that standing water?

Faceplant, Twitter and Instagram are for kids and pikers. GON is where it's at for grownup deer hunters. Errybody no that.

Way to get after 'em JT & Bubba. All it takes is one good moment to take a change for the better. Good luck, Gentlemen.

This was not a logical stand selection with the wind bow at brutal capacity and the sleet slamming into the side of my head.

Seem a couple more deer in the fields, but keeping phone up because of having to hold onto tree
