Last Day
It’s closing day on the zone where I’ve been hinting across the street. I can no believe the run of hot weather that we’ve had since the snowfall on Sept 8. I’ve been in there a couple of times since then, but I’ve only seen a racked buck once running across an alfalfa field at 0900 on one of the only cool mornings. My camera hasn’t picked up much activity at all...until yesterday...when I decided not to go and save my energy and save the spot for one last hoorah today. At 3::15 ish, at least two bucks walked where I thought they might...one was a big 10 that looks to be pushing mid 130s. Camera has been catching a lot of does and at least two more bucks moving in there from that time yesterday through 30 minutes ago. Wind is flipping RIPPING, so I’m going in for an all day sit...going to push it and try to get as close to travel corridor as possible with wind hopefully in blowing parallel to the deer...risky, but they play the wind in there like Eddie Van Halen played his axe, and there is no place to hunt where I have wind in my face that deer will come by within range. Just figured out yesterday that I can shoot a whitetail doe, so I may opt for that if I get a quality, close shot on a doe. Wasn’t going to do a “live from the stand” thread today due to Karma, but then I realized that I was doing live updates the day I got the shot on the big boy. Hopefully this one will turn out with a happier ending! Stay tuned for some good pics of beautiful land at minimum.
“I can’t wait ‘till I’m grown” is the stupidest @!#* I ever said!
