I almost had free cover scent for the rest of the season.
Well it was a very uneventful evening in the woods. I saw two deer (spooked) while walking in around 1:00pm...one was a nice buck. Saw two more 20 minutes before dark...to far for a shot.
When walking out of the woods after dark I never use a light since I am on logging roads and trails... SO tonight well after dark I am double timing it out and realize at about 5 feet that the black and white lump on the trail in front of me is alive.[&:]
Skunk!!! [:'(] I hit the brakes and backed up about 10 feet in a hurry. Luckily he wasn't too alarmed and he just scampered off into the woods without incident. I hate that smell and don't think the wife would even let me in the house if I had gotten hit from five feet tonight.[&o]
