I am not worried about what my cams are going to tell me this year in all honesty as I don't have a buck on a definitive pattern, and don't expect that to change with the next check. My plan all along has been to hunt my newest stand on my oldest stomping grounds and that would only change with an easterly wind. The call right now is for a N wind on Saturday morning and that is the best wind for the spot I have in mind, but it is also a great wind for perhaps my two best stands, both of which have cameras monitoring the best trails close to those stands. My plan is to check them this evening if we do indeed have a rain on the way in, or tomorrow if the rain stays over. If, and only if those cameras shows daytime activity from one of my target bucks, will I change my original plan.
My goal opening morning was to harvest one of two mature does frequenting my parents place. Both have twin button buck fawns and both are nice and fat! With the acorns dropping in the area all around my stand and the great vantage point it provides, I really want to sit here Saturday. But if I have a target buck crazy enough to move during the early morning hours around one of my two best stands, I'll head there and make an attempt to fill my buck tag early!!!
