Temperature: 56 degrees at 8:30 / 59 degrees at 11:00
Wind: NW, strong!!!
I took today off of work to do some bow hunting after returning from a weekend trip to Rhinelander. We've been under a wind advisory since yesterday afternoon that involved wind gusts of 40 mph so I decided to sleep in this morning. At around 8:30, I decided to head out to The Land, get the pictures off of the trail camera, and sit for a few hours hoping to catch a deer up on its feet or a flock of turkeys pecking around. I didn't have my key, so I parked underneath the knob just off of River Road. I walked the edge of the corn to the trail cam by Doc's Rock. I was disappointed to see only 9 pictures on the camera with only one good pictures of the "Tall Ten". On the way back to the vehicle, I came across the first rub of the season. It was on a smaller tree, about 3 inches in diameter, but it was very fresh. I decided to drive around and park in the food plot, and climb up in my ladderstand in the south swamp. This stand is usually difficult to get to in the early season, and this year it wasn't any different. The swamp grass is very tall and the ground is wet and soft. The wind was howling out of the NW, but occassional sunshine kept it pretty comfortable. I sat from 9:30 until 11:00 without seeing any deer movement.
Total deer sightings: 1
Total hunting hours: 19.5
