Beautiful morning!
It's my first year doing the velvet hunt. It's so hot already here. I've been in the stand since 430 was hoping the neighbors going in this morning would push them in to the woods with me. Been watching some decent bucks for couple weeks now on camera. On this place hope they come in soon.
I much prefer evenings. Mornings are tough unless you've got a solid peg on their route back to bed and know you can beat them to it without bumping anything on the way. I don't have that this year but I do have a couple good evening spots picked out I'll try. Going to hang a stand in a couple hours, put fresh recharge and batteries in my thermacell, do a quick wash on my clothes that have been put away since last summer, then I'll be in stand by around 5:30pm.
Sunday evening looks best around here. Saturday evening the wind shifts from west to north and clouds move in, then by mid afternoon Sunday there's good chance of t-storms. By 5pm the rain clears but still cloudy. The sudden notable temp drop of the rain should have them up early and active. Hopefully

You got 5 more sits to go. I like your odds.

Good luck to you crazy hunters that are out in this heat. Take care of yourselves.
I'd like to shoot 1 in velvet but not so much to do so in 90+ temps and humidity. I was in my barn working out this morning at 6:30 and was sweating like a wh0re in church. We'll be sitting on the lake instead. Y'all can have it.
Got back in about 25 minutes ago. Quite a bit warmer than it was this morning.
According to Online Reporting, 73 bucks checked in as of 4:06 pm (Friday). Hamilton and Madison are top counties with 5 bucks each.
Good luck Ski!
