tonights disgusted hunt
Well I went to a new place tonight in hopes of finding some nice sign. I followed this old logging road and found about 5 scrapes on it. At the end was this little grassy area with the freshest scrape, looked really fresh! I decided to hunt around those but couldnt find a good spot to climb b/c it was a pine thicket. Finally made my way up a small tree that my stand barely bit into. I was afraid to move around but it was the only spot with a open shot.
Long story short...I grunt about every 15 minutes. It was getting dusky so I decided to pack up. Im getting my stuff together and then turn around to look and see what I thought was movement. I didnt know if it was the darkness or movement, so I hold my bow ready and then here 5 snorts and it takes off. He kinda came back when I was down the tree. It made me mad b/c if I would have waited ONE more MINUTE, I may have ahad a chance. Dont know if it was a buck but I believe it was, it had to have been.
Should I hunt the same area tomorrow but in a different spot?
Sorry I cant tell short stories.
