First sit of the year, got my trusty bow with me, got in the stand about 10 min ago.

It's 42 degrees and 15-20 mph north wind

Man it's chilly here.

I'm up on top of a mountain so I'm not catching any wind breaks

Doe and a fawn eating corn here now

Had about 8 does come to the feeder.

Along with 1 black angus.

Saw some pigs running in the woods



Was gonna take a doe but decided with the rut starting I'd leave em until December.

Saw one spike that I hesitated on and never got another shot. I shot a big black boar hog right before dark. When I drew my peep was turned 90 degrees and I still shot and hit him a little high in the front shoulder. Didn't find blood. Headed back out to the same pop up. This wind really has them shut down at our place.

Yes the high winds can be a hindrance.
