Shhhhhhh!

Can you hear it? It's the sound of the impending rut silence here on the board settling in....Everyone is busy counting sick days, trading shifts, begging for schedule trades, stealing each others babysitters, fighting with thier wives, cussing at the weatherman, yelling at the dog etc... God I love late October!

I have the 1st through the 9th off. 

Yeah, I wanted to take a 1/2 day tomorrow but it looks like it will still be a steady 15-20 with gusts 30+ with rain mixed in (moreso than today). I need to start using some vacation and due to family stuff, won't be able to hunt the evenings tomorrow or Saturday for sure. I may just suck it up and tuck myself into a stand site I have in a steep valley at a stream crossing and sit until 11 and hope for the best. Can't get anything sitting in the office or on the innerwebs beotching about it.

I hope so Silver. I bagged my 1/2 day this AM. Wind was blowing pretty good at 5am and it was still raining so I went back to bed.

You don't love October for the steelhead fishing?

Oh, hello by the way...long time lurker, first time poster.
