Wind is howling out the north calling for snow to start at anytime and up to 3 inches of it... but we are on stand

Breaking light I think cause my head is buried and i cant look around... it’s brutal folks, and we’ve hunted brutal before! Im between standing corn, crp, nasty thicket, on a wet frozen slough... with acre of corn knock dotin front of me with beans mixed in ...wish I could turn around and look at it! Here we go...swaying! Should make for a nice arrow flight

I've been on lockdown since light. Yeah narrow 9 in CRP has been tending a doe and pushing off another buck. Never any closer than 50 yards, but fun to watch. Probably a 3 yr old, but a heck of a3b yr old if he is

I’m probably about 12-14 bucks so far

Watching them chase, work paw spots and thrash trees all around me

Is Bubba ever gonna tell us how big the beast in Kansas was and did Steve have trail cam pictures of it. Just wondering.

 

[doublecc27]

Brother just text me he shot a old heavy horn deer

Not sure if Steve has pics. The buck had heavy beams but his tines weren't real long. His brows were thick and blades and very long. Longer than his other tines and stood out above the rest. I didn't see it a but it also had some type of dagger coming off a beam.

All quiet over here now.

Finally have a free moment, one good buck so far with several decent ones.

Congrats to your brother

Too overcast for good pics, but you get the idea. Swamp and CRP. The slough to left is completely under water and is iced over. If they come they I'll hear them... Even over there gale force winds

Good luck to all out chasing bucks in the Midwest this morning.

I wanted to take a minute to brag on my grandad this morning. He shot a 8pt last night on our lease in Monroe County Ga last night. Not the biggest, but to hear the excitement in his voice when I got the call to come help get him it out was priceless. I sure hope that when I’m 81 that I have the ability to still go hunting get around as well as he does.

I don’t see how you guys handle those weather conditions day in and day out. I’ve been in Illinois a number of times with wind and temps like that and it’s awful. And in the Midwest, there’s no hiding from that wind either. Good luck cause y’all have certainly earned it!

JT, that elevated blind across the CRP looks comfortable and a lot warmer for the day like y'all are describing. Good luck to you, Bubba, and the rest of y'all swinging from a tree. I hope today is the day.

I’m over 20 bucks so far and about to freeze so may not sit much longer

The big boys are on their feet. Had a 150s 10 chase a doe across the creek at 80 yds. Another 130ish sneeked to my back and busted me as I glasses the big 10. My phone is acting wierd. Hope this posts. Will check in when I can.

Give it a few more and climb down to go get pop up blind and heater I guess
