Hi everyone,
Yesterday's sits were nothing to write home about.I saw two bucks in the morning.One ran past me stand about 50 yards out like he was on fire.He had just been shot by a hunter who I didn't know was in the same piece of woods,about 200 yards away.That deer came past at 7:20,the hunter didn't attemot to track the deer.I got out of my stand at 9:00 and went over to see if there was blood where the buck had come through.There was,I didn't understand why the guy wasn't pursuing the trail.Long story short my friend that I was hunting with,(he in another stand on the same property)and I tracked this buck a quarter mile,we then back tracked it to see if we could determine where it was shot from.We came upon the hunter who shot the deer who had left the woods to go to a guitar lesson and was coming back to trail the deer.Nice guy,not happy that he is hunting in such close proximity,but what are you going to do when you don't own the property.We took him to the last blood we found and proceede to attempt to help him find the deer.We spent two hours with him,in some instances crawling on hands and knee's looking for drips.He had to go so he marked the last spot blood was found and was coming back later.Hopefully I will find out whether he recovered the deer.Seemingly the deer bled enough to have expired.
I had a five pointer walk underneath me,and I saw two doe's.Yesterday afternoon one doe and this morning's sit one doe.
I am hunting the only stand I have out that I havn't hunted this afternoon.It is way to warm!!
