Well, it was a cold windy day, good thing I don't get seasick the stand was rocking back and forth in the wind. Got there at about 6 AM and took about 15 minutes for the stand to warm up. I stayed until about 10. One squirrel and a few birds are all I saw. Still nice to get out though and I'll give it a few more tries during the week.
Here are a few photos of the place you can see how tall the stand is by the shadow it cast on the ground.

Missouri has the craziest weather, last week at this time it was 9 below. Today I go out to hunt and it's almost 70.
