No luck so far

[gregrn43]

Its not been a good first half of a nine day ML season so far. I have seen a total of one buck, a small 8pt Sunday morning and I chose to pass him up hopefully I wont regret it, but it aint looking good so far. Acorns are all over the place, nice big pretty white oaks. Deer just aint moving much right now. I am finding some scrapes and rubs. The wife missed one monday morning, she got a bit to excited and rushed her shot, but it will be a shot she wont forget for quite some time. She didnt get the butt of the ML on her shoulder and the scope popped her right betwixt the eyes. I heard her shoot so I shimmed down the tree and headed her way. When I got there she had bloody tissues scattered everywhere and a nice gash to go with it, but being a ER nurse that was right up my alley. Anyway I'm headed back to the cabin early in the morning for the second go around. Good luck to all.

Well hang in there... good luck to you and your wife. I hope her cut heals fast.

When the acorns are plentiful here, you would swear there is not a deer in the woods. They pretty much become nocturnal because they have plenty to eat and don't have to go far to get it. Good luck!

No glory here either, it is to darn warm and dry... + Now the moon and the stars offer them all the light they need at night. So the elk feed & water early in the dark and early in the morning then go find the thermal cover to hide in...

Please extend our welcome (and condolences) to your wife for her entry into the Honorable Society of the Half Moon.

When conditions are like that it's time to start creeping at a rate of about 400 yards an hour. Stop and look real well under every fallen tree and briar patch.
