RE: Official Team Crazy 8'S Thread (8)
Yesterday spent a beautiful afternoon up a tree on RI public land. Saw lots of tree rats, nothing else. Today, hunted CT. Decided to try a different spot closer to the landowner's house where they've been seeing a lot of deer. Had one yearling doe come and go at least 4 times. I think it was the same deer, but I can't be sure. It presented at least one shot opportunity, but she wasn't exactly what I was looking for and the distance was at the edge of my limit so I let her walk. Just before dark, 5 does start munching on acorns behind me, but too far for a shot. I expected them to approach from a different direction than they came from and they didn't pass by my stand. If I hunt that area again, its going to be a challenge to find a good ambush point. I'd practically have to set a ground blind in the landowner's front yard to be able to get a shot at deer feeding under the oaks they've been feeding at.
