Resulted in a bust both nights.. Still no pictures of the big one behind the house but I was able to get on a sounder of I dont know how many, hayfield is to my knees and I only saw a few. Now that they are so tall I'll have to find them in the pastures were the grass is at a manageable height so I can see and shoot them!

Change tactics and adapt, you might need to get up high and look down on the field if that is possible. Good luck any way.

Colby, that wind was crazy here. Last week it spun my big SteppIR antenna in the rotator mount on my tower, i should have drilled and pinned that darn thing, I think it messed up my rotator also, but it wrapped my coax and controller cable around the mast like 5 times, so i have to get someone to climb up the tower to see if they can spin it back, or they will have to disconnect everything

sure i causes havoc while hunting, I used to like the wind sometimes while stalking animals as it would cover my sound walkng, just as long as it was consistent and not circling

Yeah, wind is good for stalking, helps cover noise and scent, but here the wind doesnt blow so when it does, everything freaks out

copy that, yep sometimes animals way lay up until it subsides, here it is blowing all the time, they get used to it....i like elk hunting with the bow in the wind, however it covers up their bugling if they are very far away
