No not hunting! Many of you know of the on going saga of hunting the bottom on my lease and my BIL's anger at my wanting equal access. Well, I spent the day there yesterday. I saw 3 shooters and 3 non-shooters. I passed on a little 6 several times. He was under my stand for 1/2 an hour. I really wish I had some time earlier to scout in there. I'm pretty sure I could have got it done by now.
When I talked to my BIL about my day me got Po'd again. "Why didn't you shoot that 6 so you could be out of there"? and "Well if you go in there again you better bring your gun so you can kill a good deer and get out".
I am just not enjoying my hunts when I know how upset he is with me for hunting down there. I won't be going back down there. I quit, its just not worth it.
I don't think its fair but as I'm fond of saying, "The only fair around here is in east Dallas in October, its called the state fair!".
I have to think along the lines of "They are just deer". The 3 shooters I saw yesterday were all bigger than anything I've ever killed before. I have to figure out how to pull those deer up to "my" end of the lease. Or find a new place to hunt.
My season isn't over by any means. I have a lot of hunting to look forward to. and I intend to hunt in areas where I can enjoy myself.
