Bad last week, but bright week ahead

Oct 23rd-25th MI

That was rough Friday night light rain and windy. I would say it was 20mph gust not to bad but I had that hope or really just pumped to be off work and back at it for the weekend. Ended up not seeing a dang thing.

Sat weather forecast looked even worse when we go back to the cabin that night. Rain all day and 25-30mph winds. For the first time the weather channel did not lie, boy let me tell you it was rain and 30mph winds all day. In fact I hunted 11 out of 12hrs of daylight that day and we did not see anything. Windy weather and a huge mass corp fall has really changed this season. Being I can't hunt during the week to do work you got to put you time in stand when you have it!

This Friday Oct 30th will be at Metro Airport 4:30am and ready to fly to Neb (Lincoln) and then a short 1hr drive south. Will be in of my Fav places to hunt I can't wait!

Oct Lull in MI

Well it hit, just like pretty much every year the Oct Lull is here! The 3rd wk in MI like clock work is slow VERY slow. Being only able to hunt the weekends as my farm is 2hr drive I miss some of the up's and down. But Last week must have been peak of the lull, almost everyone I know hardly seen deer in the morning or evenings.

Corn is hurting some of the movement as it is going to be late and still up but I usually still see deer even in the lull. Everyone is predicting the rut is going to kick in early this year and I agree look toward this Friday the 25th and Halloween should be pop pop pop ing!! So this weekend means extra hours in stand!

Good Luck & Hunt Well

2 wk's in MI re-cap


The first two weeks in MI have flown bye! Maybe because only getting to hunt 4.5 days out of 14 when you only get the weekends to hunt makes it fly bye!

First weekend in S.MI was nothing but rain, deer movement was really slow. I think we seen 25 deer over the Sat and Sun but nothing to shoot at.

2ND weekend, crazy how fast the fall colors here in MI change so fast. Striking!!

It was cold and the deer-movement was out of this world. Seen close two 40 deer most of which does. But seen the best 1.5yr old buck at 5 yards that will be a future MEGA-STAR!!! Can't wait till we hit the road on Friday make the 2hr drive and do it all over!

Hunt Well!
