Well today was good and bad. I talked to the land owner that I have the trail cam set up at and he gave the bad news. He said since I had to work most of Ohio's gun season he gave permission to some of the Pumpkin fest guys to push his woods. Now, don't take it wrong, it is his woods and he can do as he likes and I can leave if unhappy so don't take this post wrong. But he told me that two nice eight point bucks were taken off the land and a small doe. I can only guess that they are the ones I have pics of and one could be the small eight I passed on several times. Kinda sucks passing on a deer hoping to let it get bigger for the next season then find out it was shot. But I am glad someone had a successful hunt, maybe they have not put many bucks under there belt and did enjoy the hunt. But any ways, it still kinda sucked to hear it. Well the good news was me and dad went over to the new swamp spot. We had a light, fresh dusting of snow so we decided to go over and give a look see on the place for fresh tracks. Well I found one set on a main trail and then me and dad just walked around where his blind was looking for any sign and just enjoying getting out. We did not intend to hunt,cause we are still trying to let the place relax from gun season, just looking about. Well we walk a little farther back and about ten yards behind me we hear alot of noise, only to look up and see a buck trying to bust his was through some of the thick swamp stuff trying to get out and away into the more open so he could run. It was kind cool knowing that the buck had to sit there and watch us for at least ten minuets before we walked past him and he jumped up. I had myCB, but he was really jumping about in the thick stuff and then when hewas out, it was a full blow sprint so I never shot. He was a nice little eight, not past his ears and only maybe G2 andG3's about four inches long, but what was nice was, he had alot of mass on him. I bet ifyou held his rack on the sides above his G2 you could not make your thumb and index finger touch around the main beam!It was sure nice seeing him! Any ways, we plan on going out next Saturday. Hope every one else is getting out!
