Not that you need any but I'm going to give you some advice that I have yet to heed.... the grass is not always greener on the other side! I find my self often times second guessing my setups, thinking I should have setup over there, or i should have went to another spot..... it only takes one thing to go wrong to mess you up. That said things can go right just as quickly!I moved over to the north side of the oak flat that I saw 2 bucks cross yesterday morning I got set up in the tree in the afternoon for the evening hunt. When I left last night I kept my steps in so I could make an early fast quiet entry this morning. I kicked two deer out going in about 200 yds east of my stand they headed out to the north no blowing no fuss. Other than that my entry was flawless using the morning dropping thermal. I'm not in the tree 10 minutes and I hear a twig snap a beautiful 8pt wide dark but short tines a good buck for here, a definite shooter. He's taking his time he makes it in to 50 yds and the f@#*ing wind shifts,just a swirl against the thermal but enough his head goes up and he starts licking he stood for 3 or 4 min figures he doesn't like the wind and heads south all sneaky like. That was about 630. I watched my wind feather dance the whirling jig for the next 30 min and now I'm sitting in a SW prevailing wind. Perfect for the set up.im sure the outcome would be the same if I stayed on the other side but you can't help but wonder. It's a great morning to hunt. The photo is shot to the south
