Well, last night I decided to sleep late this morning and check out the weather once I woke up. I did sleep later than usual, but woke up about 5:30 and after checking the weather, I decided to come on...it looked like it there would be a break in the rain til the rough front got here - I figured about 7:30.

I got to the barn and the "usual" turkeys came out in the clover. I saw a spike at 7:30, but that's the only deer I've seen (not surprised!). The rough front got here about 7:45 and it got pretty wild for about 10 minutes - raining sideways in "sheets". At this point, I was thinking to myself, "Dang, I'm an IDOT! What was I thinking!?"

The turkeys cracked me up - they stood in the wide open about 40 yds. from me and took the rain "like a man"; like statues!

The rain has stopped now and it's a slight SW wind. I'm glad I'm here now!! Maybe the deer will move!?

Im not following where the "idiot" part comes in. Wish I had a house with a greenfield on it to sit in....would be there all day on a day like this. There is a fine line between being an idiot, and being a dedicated hunter. A dedicated hunter you are!

i want a picture of this barn you speak of

I've got a picture of it from the other end of the field (300 yds. away), but the picture is on my computer...I'll have to find it when I come in from hunting

jchan, re-read my first post. I added a little more to it, so it should make more sense now

The 2 year old 7 pt. I saw yesterday afternoon has been out here feeding for 15 minutes

Good luck I always like to hunt after a good wheather change and it seems like things get a lot more refreshed and active after a hard rain..looks like a nice setup!

PS. Nobody w
ill be thinking your an idiot if you happen to roll back home with a nice buck on the tailgate lol

Must be one of them pics where you have to look real hard and find the hidden image cause I can't find him in the pic.

Found him....I think..he across from you towards the right side?

smack in the middle of the picture and plot

looks to me like he is straight out in the middle of the pic

Waited till the rain moved out just got settled in for a mid day hunt. Hardwood bottom with planted pines to my right and left.

I called it a morning about 10:30 - no other movement after the 7 pt. I'm planning on being in a stand early this afternoon

Wear a harness. This wind will certainly tote you off.

Here's the only picture I have of it. This picture is a fawn I saw in our beans/peas back in early September...You can see the barn in the top right corner - the gap in the roof is the shooting window (we hunt from the loft of the barn - 8' or so off the ground)

Good looking spot

Awesome spot. Thanks for the pic

Good looking spot!

Man, what a perfect setup!
