bjrogg:
Only problem is this darn wind by the lake is changing every 10 minutes. It's so quiet I can hear people talking a half mile away

Pappy:
The wind does that here in Tennessee all the time bj unless we have some kind of front moving in, then it will stay blowing in the same direction most of the time.

bjrogg:
Same here Pappy, this lake is a big weather maker and really effects our wind, temperatures, clouds
Rain, fog you have it in , it effects it. I'm hunting from 1 mile to 150 yards off the big lake here and as beautiful as it can be it can also be just as ugly. It really does add an extra challenge to this type of hunting but I totally love this piece of earth and am so blessed to walk it. I constantly thank the lord for putting me here to care for his land and seeds. My dad told us we could farm with him if we wanted but not till we worked off farm for a few years. I went to electronic school in 1979 lived, went to trade school and worked in Detroit area for 5 years. When times get really hard I think back to living there. My dad was and still is a smart man

I feel that way about my dad too.Upside....Smartest most honorable man I'll ever know.In life as well.Farmed his whole life.Very in tune with the land and it's surroundings.Knew what to do when for what.A self doer.Only had a 6th grade education.Had to quit school to go to work to take care of his siblings during the depression of the 1930's.A penny saved is a penny earned mentality.
Down side....Most stubborn man I've ever known.....lol.In retrospect you had to be to grit it out through those hard times.
Anyway...It's cooling off nice here now.Been sitting in the stand a few times.Seeing some does/yearlings and smaller bucks.2 real nice bucks too.This morning is raining again lightly here so I'll see what goes on this evening.
bjrogg:
