Brutal here in eastland. Sticking it out with a 7 and 10 year old. They're being troopers. Boy wants his first deer. Nothing yet and I don't have high hopes for today.

We hunted most protected setup here in Southern Oklahoma until 11:30 and didn't see a thing. I'm optimistic for tonight wind starts really dying after 4 pm and those bucks will be extra motivated to move. Hunting Wednesday and Thursday the bucks were cruising like crazy, saw 2 different shooters bow hunting. Trying to get my 75 yo mom on rifle buck this weekend.

I have been going out about twice a week since opening day of bow season and I have noticed that I see much less on windy days. The deer just don't move as much.
As someone else stated, Sunday evening should be money. I too will be out and will probably get in trouble for getting home late.

Back at it after a short break. Wind still blowing and kids motivation is down. Not as bad as the morning though.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Reckon the winds win. I'm starting to shiver.

With the exception of a 5 pt and 2 jack rabbits, I have seen nothing today.

Ended up seeing 9 doe but no bucks. All doe started to move after 5 when the wind started to die down. Saw the Bucks opening weekend, none today. Any theories out there as to why they might have been following the does. Already with another lady??? In eastland btw.

Wind didn't slow em down at all. It was brutal, but they were all over the wheat fields. Every hunter saw animals and I was the only person who didn't shoot. I saw a great buck in the neighbor's wheat. I looked like he was going to knock on their camper door.
We had 2 misses today, but a miss by the father became the sson's luck as a spike came out an hour later and the 15 year old showed his dad how is was done. Dropped the deer in the same spot his father missed.
His dad took huge pig shortly there after.
30 mile an hour gust. Hunt the fields

I didn't hunt today but saw around 20 deer and 10 turkey here by the cabin. Seen a interesting buck just a little down the road, he was an 8pt but the right side of his rack grew down behind his ear. Most likely a injury earlier in the year and will be back to normal next year.

The wind was brutal. I didn't even want to climb up on one of the feeders to fill it.

Our winds died down with about 90 minutes left of shooting, but it didn't improve the activity. Looks like bucks moved about midnight, saw 2 different ones on camera half mike apart.

I climbed in the stand in Gorman, Tx, Eastland Co. at 3:30 Saturday, with the wind still whipping pretty dang good. I wasn't expecting any action till closer to dark when the wind was projected to die down. At 3:37, this buck busted across the field, headed straight into the wind. I can only assume he was looking for love grin instead of love, he found a 30-30 160 gr Hornady LeveRevolution and didn't make it out of the clearing rifle

In Throckmorton, we opted out of the morning hunt on Saturday. It was gusting 30-35mph, and judging by some of the comments from Saturday on this thread, we may have made the right decision. We decided to get in the blinds early on Saturday afternoon. The forecast called for the wind to die down around 4, and the weatherman was actually right. According to the on hunter that hunted a wheat field, the wheat fields were loaded with deer. Said he saw 12 does being chased and pushed around by 3 young bucks. As the sun went down, this guy peaked out into the field to get in on the action. I guess he bit off more than he could chew... I especially like his brow tines.
