Got the wife home from her surgery & things look better. She has been in horrible pain for over 2 months.
My daughter went out for the 1st time on their farm & saw nothing on stand. I went for the FIRST time yesterday also, only to a stand I have on CITY property (special rules apply & qualification). It's just a few min. from where I live so I can get home if wife needs me (we have a 16 year old daughter at home also to help her when I am gone).
ANYWAY-got in the stand about 3:45. 4:30 I had a busted up 8 point-16" spread, 2" bases(now 6) walk rightin front of my stand at about 10 feet (I am up 15' ladder stand). Then 5 min later his twin brother (only a good solid 6) comes to the same spot. At 5:00 I had a Doe pass at 20 yards but she never stopped where I could get a shot (real thick where I am set up). Then at 5:30 I had a Fork horn at 15 yds. that his ears were bigger than his horns. It was a great start for my FIFTY FIRST year of Whitetail Bowhunting & 1st time out. I just wish a Buck like these would come by the daughter (or bigger).Either of the two would be a great Buck for a beginner. I will do my best to put a decent one on the ground for our team this year.
It just going to get better from now on fellas-Good Luck.
