Very windy today. Is it worth it to drive 1.5 hours for the afternoon hunt?

I'm after a mature buck that I've only seen for 10 seconds this past Sunday afternoon. I can't make it back out to the ranch until Friday night to hunt this last weekend for bucks down here. Do you guys think the heavy winds make it a wash this afternoon?

I would make the trip

Can't shoot them from your living room or work...

This

A bad day hunting is better than almost any good day working.

Ok, I'll go if you guys insist. lol I already took the afternoon off from work, so it's on!

Youll kick yourself if hes on camera today and you dont go

Very true.
If I don't get him before Sunday, I just hope the camera catches him. I saw him for the very first time this past Sunday evening. He came out of the brush chasing a doe and only stuck around for 10 seconds. He had a huge body compared to any buck I've ever seen on our place, and his rack was at least 3 to 4 inches outside the ears with at least 10 points. He's never been on camera either. I stayed in the blind until it was pitch black outside. I haven't stopped thinking about that buck since.

Wind blew hard all day here yesterday and laid about an hour before dark. I'd make the trip...

Get gone!

good luck bud

I'd go if I were you.

I agree and would give anything to be out in the woods instead of work today or anyday for that matter

I'm walking out the door from work in two minutes!

1.5 hour drive is nothing.

I'd leave work early everyday if the drive was only 1.5 to the lease. Heck my daily commute one way is an hour.

Especially with the moon right, cold/wet weather coming in, yeah, I'd go... heck, I am going to go

i thought the same thing yesterday... it wasn't quit this windy but I went and the last hour or so it died down a little and I saw deer.. so I would go

Shot my buck this year in 15mph winds

Ok I'm in the blind sittin', waitin', wishin'!!!!

The answers is always yes

I never have any luck on windy days

Any luck today

Saw 7 doe the last hour of light. Bucks didn't show up, but at least I was there.

yup atleast you were there, I was stuck at work all day.

I drove six and a half, for the cull Buck and doe late season. Also to gathier up my stuff at lease for season, hunting in morning then go if i get cull Buck, good just to be here, am staying til Friday morning if all am hunten is hogs and coyotes,

I'll be back at the ranch Friday night and stay till Sunday, looking for that buck.

Well ?

Stay after him....

No doubt!! I'll be out there the entire weekend if I have to.

That's why its called "hunting" and not "finding"! You wouldn't have seen anything if you hadn't been there! Gotta think positive.....

Definitely. I 'm excited about this weekend.

By the way.........GOT HIM!

Congrads! great followup - bet you're glad you made the call to go!

I would have stayed out there until right now if he hadn't come out yesterday. I'm still excited.

Good one

Congrats!

We hunted the wind all weekend, surprised how well the deer moved in it. We shot a hog and an old doe was it for us.

Thank you!!
