I spent the afternoon on Thursday the whole day on Friday and the afternoon on Sat at MNHA. I walked into the woods on Friday morning at about 6:30 to get setup. It was thick and dark. I am moving slowly along when I hear a rustle and see 3 to 4 white tails pop up and take off. I am guessing I stumbled (I tried my best) across them bedded down. I did not have a shot and would not take a shot wildly into the thick stuff. It was really dissapointing. Its a good spot I found and i wonder if I should hunt there again.
I have only been hunting two years and this was my first year at MNHA. I really liked it and tried two different sections. Saw a really big fox, thats a first for me. I keep hearing that the moon is screwing up the season as its so light at night and they are feeding then and bedding down during the day. There didnt seem to be alot of people there overall and when I left Saturday evening they had only had two deer checked in that day. Due to class I will not be able to get out next weekend so I hope I can get out on the 3rd and 4th and get my first deer. If anyone has one on a leash and can tie it to a tree let me know. JK
