We continue to monitor this data but the results we have are inconclusive; we need more data. |

I guess what I am saying is "You get what you pay for".  Free advice. | Went out this morning after watching the humidity and air pressure last night. It went from 100.30 @ 9:30pm (falling) to 100.11 @ 10:00am (rising). The humidity went from 62 to 76 in the same time period. I saw one coyote and the buck i have been after. He came in heading into the wind and got to @ 50yrd of my treestand but there were big fallen trees that hid most of his body, very nice rack. He jumped one tree behind him and then just walked away slowly no problem, i could not make a good shot with my excalibur, with the wind and the tree hazard i didn,t shoot. Maybe next week, or this sunday! |
