I know some already know where they are headed.
how are the rest of you deciding?
I have been writing down different spots that come to mind.
the night before I'm going to look at the weather and see what wind direction it calls for and pull out of a hat.
Of corse if the wind is wrong I get to draw again.
what do ya'll think?

I'm hoping for either a W/NW or SE wind.
As of right now, Weather Channel is predicting a W/NW for Friday and then shifting to a N wind on Saturday. A straight North wind is going to cause me some problems for opening weekend.
Though, it looks like we'll be cooling down next weekend. A chance of rain makes things even better in my book.

Find a dominant tree. Climb a tree on the downwind side of it.

Got 3 picked out within 150 yards of each other. might not decide until a take the long walk. Wind does not play a factor as deer have come from every direction in this spot. Having a hard time making it through the day can not imagine what next friday is going to be like

Im in the same boat. Got mine narrowed down to two trees. I think I'll be between bedding areas and the oaks.
