[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 308621, member: 1485"] I have very, very little time to hunt this year, and my season is now split with wanting to fill my archery tag (doe or buck, doesn't matter, just filling the freezer) and pheasant hunting with my aging/ailing dogs. This weekend is Halloween, and I need to make a decision on whether to make a 2-hour one-way run to my deer woods and sit for 4-5 hours before flying back in time to take the kiddos trick-or-treating, or should I just drive the hour to pheasant country and chase roosters, and battle the orange army next weekend? Only issue I see for Saturday is the really high winds, which makes hunting for either game difficult. I just don't know with the rut starting to kick off, if it would still be better to hedge my bets in the deer woods, vs. trying to hit a rooster in 40-mph winds. Either way, I'm not sitting on the couch. So if you were me, what would you do?? It's tempting to get my bow tag filled. Then I can focus on roosters for the rest of the fall without having venison on my brain. Decisions, decisions. [/QUOTE]
