RE: 5-Official Team Rut Hounds Thread
Shane, congrats on getting yourself a doe!
Patrick, thats a nice looking Tom you got there! Congrats!
My weekend of hunting was a bust!! I got out on Saturday morning with a dang hangover[:@], but I was sure that I was going to get out there!! Saw a small 2x2 early that stuck around for about 25 minutes. Durring this time, I saw the nice buck I have been after chasing a doe! They were both in full sprint! Once the 2x2left the area, I decided to sneak back to my stand that is in the deepest part of the woods. That was the direction that the buck and doe went anyway. With they still being some frost on the ground, the leaves were very quiet, so I didn't hardly make a sound. I climbed into the stand, and not 2 minutes after that, I started hearing grunts. It was a decent buck that was walking in my direction about 70 yards out. He got behind a tree, and I never saw him again. It was like he disappeared!! Ended up getting back ahead of the 2x2 and he stuck around for about 5 minutes again! Saw 1 more doe, and that was it before I had to climb down and go to work. Didn't have a deer in range except for the 2x2! Sunday I could only sit till 9 because I had to go to a sporting clays shoot. Didn't see jack!! On monday I went to my other hunting spot and was on stand by 12:15. Sat until dark, and didn't see a thing!! I'm getting a little frustrated!! I just need a good doe to walk in front of me so I can at least whack something!! I am pretty much out of deer meat!!!
Good luck everyone!
Brett
