I didn't either but I gave it 8 days of serious effort, passed on 2 easy shots at spikes and saw 2 other spikes and three 6-7 pointers up close. Just couldn't get a shot at them. You're right about the crazy wind. All but the last 2 days the wind switched direction constantly and blew several chances I should have had. It was extremely frustrating!My second to the last day I was surrounded by 4 bulls, all within 300 yards, that were answering my bugles the last 45 minutes before dark. I picked one and went after him, got within 40 yards but never saw him before it got dark. He was bugling and huffing and puffing but wouldn't come out of the thick trees.I encountered...are you ready for this?...one other hunter in those 8 days! He walked by me on the last evening I was out.Oh well, there's always late season. Grumble, grumble...
