Well it is another hunting season . I have seen several does one was really big. I have seen a couple of bucks looked to be in the six to eight pointer range . I haven't had any thing close to shoot at except a little bitty doe.
Last weekend was the start of muzzleloader season and the first morning I had one come in and put his pop up blind 20yrds. From my stand. He evidently had done no scouting and just plopped himself in the woods hoping for the best. He did good. I have a scrape 30 & 60yrgs from my stand . I have a photo of it and he has been back since I took the pic. There was a doe track in it also .
I plan to get out this weekend again ,but with my promotion at work it may take some time away from my hunting. Not to much though they know how cranky I get if I can't go sit in a tree in the woods . I have been working with a couple of new bow hunters teaching them what little I know. Herb has come close to getting a shot already and has never seen deer while gun hunting or been 30yrds. from one in a blind on the ground. If nothing else this season that alone is pretty cool.
A couple of weeks ago I had a bullet fly about ten feet over my head. I guy and his kid were out just shooting up the woods . What a dumb @$$. I yelled out ,got down found them and chewed @$$. The guy said he was so sorry that they didn't think anyone else was out there . I let him know among other things that there are three access points to the place and numerous homes on the boundary ,including mine and he should never assume anything and should take a hunter education coarse with his son. I was pi$$ed but was proud of myself for pointing out gun safety rules in a polite and stern manner when I really wanted to bust him up side his head. After all the bullet cut leaves out of the tree I was sitting in.
If my only goal was to kill something I would give up hunting . The peace of the woods and just taking it all in is why I go, and will until my legs won't carry me any more. Then I'll get my son to carry me out there.[:D]
