You made it to 930? That wind got up at 830 and I got chilly. Biscuits and gravy started sounding good so I came out at 9 lol.
Only 2nd time ive been this fall, normally on a front like today i wouldve been in there all day, maybe i will get more enthused with a gun in my hand lol the biscuits and gravy do sound good
Pfft I think yall are nuts for going out at all. Wait until afternoon when the sun's had a chance to warm things up all day long. Chattering teeth isn't my thing.

My body says no, but my heart and mind says, GET OUT THERE!!!!
Most people's dream rut hunt is Iowa in November. Mine is Florida in August.
Lol not really. I'd have been probably been out but had to take kid for SAT's at 8am.

I'm sitting here doing 12 hr shifts at the hospital this weekend just wishing I was able to get out today and tomorrow. Just buying my time until Monday.

I should have gone this morning. I am definitely more temperature sensitive than I used to be, but I tolerate cold better than heat.

The only good thing about summer is the fresh fruits and vegetables, other than that the next best thing about summer it is it finally goes away.
Right there with you Knight! I planned a little food plot work after I hunted this morning to warm up.

How old is old? I will be 74 very shortly, and I was out there. The damn weatherman screwed me on the wind, and I had to get off the lock on about 9:30... But, I stayed in the woods...

I can honestly say I've never ever sat all day during bow season. But as fired up as I am for deer season there still days that I just don't feel it I guess and come out a little early.

I try to hang until 10:00 or 11:00 but it's tough! My cameras have been showing more movement around noon. I can't make it until then unless I have a lot of activity and it's the rut.
In the afternoon, the closer I get to dark, the more reasons I think of to get down. I'm not afraid of the dark, I just don't want to shoot something I can't see and make a mistake on the wrong deer. A bucks antlers look bigger in the fading light. Ask me how I know!

When it gets hard to identify small buck or doe that's when I climb down. there's usually shooting light left but like you I don't want to make a mistake.
It's very thick where I hunt plus the canopy is still full so it gets tough to see quick.
At least ya'll went.

I'm old enough and been through enough seasons that if I'm not having fun, I quit hunting. And for me, 3-4 hours is all I can sit on a stand and still be enjoying myself.
