Wind is howling and gusting like crazy here in southwestern Ontario too. Not much better tomorrow either. Would like to spend a little time in a tree tomorrow afternoon but we'll see what the weather brings?? :)

Tried to get here out in NW ohio this evening and no way, it would have been insane to think you hunt in this chit. 35 to 40 mph sustained winds with gust to 50+,,, like others said, a trashcan aint safe today. I might be able to tomorrow after noon it is suposed to start to lay down, but they're calling for this into tomorrow morning with no let up's.

Saturday is supposed to be descent and that is Indiana gun opener. I have a pretty good stand in a nortwest corner of woods just 40 yards off the state line which is a 30 acre corn field with a big woods 300 yards west of me,,,, hoping they push a big'n my way,,, it will be an all dayer!!
