Curious why the 8th is your target date to think they’ll be moving then. Not a criticism, just trying to learn different perspectives. If I remember correctly you hunt private ground but correct me if I’m wrong, maybe that plays into things for you.
 
Highs in low 30's and upper 20's with a good chance of 1-3inches of snow in north central Nebraska this weekend. I wanted a cool down....but that's colder than I am ready for.

Anybody get your saddle over over some Sitka fanatic bibs?

Man, all you guys with 2 and 3 week vacations....I'm jealous. I need to save some PTO next year to take a week off in rut. I had last week off for a scheduled draw hunt and came up empty. All out of PTO for the year.

Everyone in different spots in jobs and lives here. Cool thing is you’ll see some folks arrow a giant on a weekend morning before they needed to get to their daughters dance recital and some put in 82 hours after their target on the 2-3 weeks they have worked many years to get time off for. Best deer camp out there, even if we can can’t share chili.

I wear mine over TrueTimber bibs so I’m sure you’ll be fine with your Sitka. Busting mine out for tomorrow in Iowa. Works just fine. Little extra padding for an all day sit.

Ive got 3 years of cam data and hundreds of hours on stand during the rut. I just don't ever see the mature deer till around the 8th on thru the 20th. I'll get a zillion 90 inch deer the first week.
All archery hunting is public. I only rifle hunt on private

Can't say I've put in many years to get that time off. Started with 4 weeks Vaca and get my fifth at 5 years. Plus I work a 3 on 3 off so I'm off half the season anyway. :tearsofjoy:
 
I’m blessed with age and longevity so I get five weeks a year. I’m also blessed to be able to take time off when I want (for the most part) as long as my colleagues are good with it. Thankfully, they really always are. Hmmmmm. Anyway, Very awesome people and put up with my hunting addiction. That being said, I pick and choose and try to take the best days and not large blocks all at once to keep me able to focus on both my job and hunting and family needs. So far I’m planning on tomorrow and the 30th and 31st then a couple of days that first week in November. I’ve had the best luck as they ramp up to the peak which here is always between Election Day and Veterans Day.
