Deer Season
Tim thanks it did suck, my brother had a shot at the same deer yesterday afternoon in the same spot, clean miss. I took a nice doe, guessing 3 years old this am and called it a season. Does seen yesterday and today where back with their fawns. Rut maybe coming to the end inn that area.
Opening morning, 9:00, 10 pt. about 18 inch and 4 does surprise from my far right, all stop 20-25 yards from me, buck perfectly positioned behind two trees so all I can see is the outside tips of his rack and his nose when he turns his head. 3-4 minutes of this this game, then the hot doe curls her lips and takes off the way they came from, no chance for a shot. Alot of words under my breath for the next ten minutes.
No luck for muself and son either. We were hunting private land and found too many tresspassers, makes for a wonderful day in the woods when you are sitting in your stand and a guy comes waltzing into the woods making a bunch of racket and sets up his stand not 50 yards away. Buddy what are you doing? I finally had to go talk to him. Well gee I had permission from the guy that owned this property 7 years agao to hunt here. Hmm 7 years ago, time to get lost.
Anybody been out scouting, setting up stands etc? I used to be a die hard deer hunter, hunter rifle and black powder seasons. Don't have the drive as much as I used to, I would rather fish now. But I last year I picked up a 44 Revolver, I do have the itch to shoot a deer with that however.
