Was thinking about sitting the stand, but I can already hear the wind gust. Thats a negative for on the deer stand. The wind plus being as spooked as the are I probaby won't see anything.

this will be the first ground sit for me this year.
with the north west i'm going all the way in and tight to water and cedar swamp. this will keep me down wind of everything. and this area hasn't been hunted yet this year.

sat till 9:30
saw turkeys, squirels, ducks, canada geese and snows.
i left early cause there were hundreds of robins in the swamp i was in. the noise they make is unreal.
went to pull my short rat line.
everything was froze, had to bust ice to pull the sets. i had one rat. i think it's a black rat, so much ice on it i'm not sure yet. bitter out there in open fields, winds hawkin.

Nothing here either. Wasn't that bad where I was. I was right on the edge of a swamp and the dense trees blocked a lot of the wind. Ill be back tonight.

I knew this would happen! So I wake up nice and early. Have a pot of coffee and an egg. I start to check my traps and wouldn't ya know it here come three doe all three stop and stare at me at about 35 yds completely broadside. I keep saying to myself why not just take the slug gun with you? Just put a some organge on and hunt and check traps at the same time. I guess I loose! I didn't do it. Oh well.
