Kenny, has been a light steady rain for a few hours, may want to start out in that pop up. Looks like it will clear out in a few hrs though, as long as more doesn't start up.

Thanks Western. Looking at radar now trying to decide what I'll do. Likely be hunting from the popup or from the truck.

I've never liked hunting from enclosed blinds, but wishing I had some right now.

Pop up may be a PITA, but if you get a buck down, sure worth the effort. Looks like the heavier rain will stay South, the "blue" on the radar is very light. Wind sure has laid down for now too.

Yeah, wind was why I picked today versus yesterday. Not supposed to be much wind today. I've got the clothes to stay warm and mostly dry, but only so much you can do about rain.

Mostly worried about shooting that big buck and having to haul him a long way on foot. Guess that could become a good problem to have. Surely a neighbor has a four wheeler I could borrow.

I know what you mean, I have to cross a"dry creek" that isnt "dry", it is about 2-3' deep and running yesterday. I figured for all the time I wasted in the stand, I wont mind having to get a deer out, even if I had to qtr it and carry it out. Of course, I live here ,so it is much easier.

Worse case scenerio, I am only about 19 miles away and have a polaris, we can get that big azz trophy out!

Already stuck. Going to be a long day.

Oh no. That's why I'm.not going to risk it until at least Tuesday morning.

I've had two deer walk by and laugh at me. I'm so ashamed......

Hunters luck , cold body and a stuck truck. But we love it.

At least they are moving. Looks like this fricken rain is going to keep building, more now than there was before daylight

I'd have parked at the gate and walked in LOL

You still stuck?

I'm stuck, neighbors 4wd tractor is stuck...gonna be a long day.

Well dam, I was going to offer to try and help, but if you got a tractor stuck, I don't know if I have anything better!

Tractor have a front end loader? most of the time you can use the bucket to get the tractor out, then you can try longer chain for the truck.

Yep, front end loader and still stuck. Evidently a spring coming to surface. Need a jeep with a strong winch. Tree 40 yards in front of me. Have a few people trying to find some help.

I don't have a winch, all i have is a 4x4 truck with regular tires, factory tires to be exact. I have had to put a log or 4 under a bucket a few times to get some lift and pushing strength, try that?

Yep. Logs, rocks, etc. Usually some big jeeps at the burger place in town. Going to see if I can pay someone to help me.

Even a loose winch would work as long as you have a 12v supply and enough cable. You think s jeep will do better than a 4x4 tractor?

Two tractors stuck. My thought on a jeep was it could tie off to a tree 40 yards from truck. However, have figured out the water I'm in is coming up from the ground. Have more help coming. Not how I wanted to spend my day.

Damn luck hitting a shallow spring, probably normally dry. 2 tractors! You don't fool around Kenny!! Must look like Gold Rush and the Hoffmans out there J/K, wish I had a winch of some sort, that and a good amount of cable/chain, may do the trick (if the tree stay's planted)

Still stuck. Looking at my target buck eat corn. Waiting on a tow company that thinks they can get it out. Fun day.

Shoot him while your waiting

No Chit Kenny!! chute it!!

Wrecker thinks they can? must have a crap load of cable to work with! Tractors aren't in the way?

To bad it is Sunday, might have been cheaper to buy a winch from harbor freight, then a wrecker. You must be "mother load stuck"? take photos?

Got it out. Wasn't a fun day.

Considered shooting that buck, but then had to wonder how I would get him out. I wasn't certain I was even going to get myself out at the time.

No desire to go back out for a while.

I'm glad you got out. Only owned a 4x4 for a couple months. Unsure of exactly what I can safely get through with it, so I'm not going to atleqst Tuesday.
