RE: 42-Official Team 42 Thread
Well fellas, the season has started, not how i planned, but it was great to be in a tree. Sat morning i hunted a stand that i wasnt planning on hunting, due to the wind, and ended up seeing 2 does with 2 fawns. One fawn still had the spots, and the other was a decent amount larger. I was planning on taking a doe if she came close enough, but they got to about 40 yards and then walked off. In all honesty, i wasnt planning on seeing anything that morning, so it was a success. Sat evening, i didnt want to hunt, but a buddy of mine was in town and he really wanted to get out. You may ask why i didnt want to hunt, well it was 92 degrees. I walked to the stand in shorts and a teeshirt and was still dripping sweat. It looked like i jumped in a swimming pool. Neadless to say, i saw a doe and a velvet 4 point, both within 10 yards of me, but i started thinking, if i shoot the doe and cant find it quick, the meat will be no good. I let her walk, but it was great to be in the right spot at the right time again. Hopefully the weather will cool down, we have a front coming in tomorrow afternoon so maybe on the backside of it there will be cooler weather. I just can see sitting in a tree when it is this damn hot out.
