Hard to believe that I am 3 days away from sitting in a tree again. Got my early season stands set and a few cameras have been soaking for a few weeks now. Gonna do some more shooting tomorrow to make sure everything is good to go and wash some clothes. My 2B tag came today which is the one that was lost in the mail for over a month and just processed last Thursday.
As of now the weather looks dry but warm.

A tad bit thick out there, Timber, but it was good to be in the stand again. No sightings this morning but the camera check this morning showed a couple little bucks and quite a few does. Pulled out at 10. Will probably give it a go this afternoon depending on how much progress I make on the bathroom project.

Had a doe at 22 yards this evening but she never gave me a good angle.

Had a very good night in the stand but all of the action was around 4:30. Ended up seeing 6 does and a small buck. Was able to sneak up on a doe on the way in and got within 25 yards but just couldn't get a clear shot before she finally saw me. Thought for sure I would see more during prime time but they moved early tonight.

Thought for sure I would see more during prime time but they moved early tonight. When I went up to hang my trail cam's on Friday I saw several deer out 'n about feeding at around noon or so. Three different "clusters" of 'em in 3 different locations (including where I hunt). I dunno why that is but some days they seem to be out when you don't expect it. Mebby rain...or a change in atmospheric pressure triggers them to move and eat? |

I managed to luck into a nice doe on Friday. I was the only one in camp, so no hero shots. I made a good shot at 4:00 PM. The blood trail lead to our camp driveway, and when I looked down toward the entrance from the road, there she was. I was fairly easy for this 80 year old with a hernia to drag this 140 pound deer to camp. I could drive the four-wheeler right to the deer, hook up a drag strap, and use internal combustion power to do the job. We have a tripod set up with a winch to hang deer up for skinning, so that didn't require a lot of muscle power either. Hope nobody is offended by the photo of this deer hanging. It is the closest I could come to a hero shot  |

Congrats George. May there be more bucks and bears hanging from the skinning rack this fall!
