RE: MY LITTLE DIARY
11/11/08 Tuesday
Went out for the morning hunt. Weather was 27 degrees and clear skies. Me and my dad just knew it was going to be a good day. I decide to hunt the field stand, and my dad hunts the woods.
Daylight comes around about 6:15. Nothing moving at all. At 7:15 a gobbler flies off his roost, which happened to be the tree behind me, and gobbles at the hen in the woods to my left. He enters the field and sprints over to her.
That was all we saw, other than squirrels. Nothing was moving at all. There were only about 5 shots that went off the whole morning, and we are hunting in one of the most heavily hunted areas in Virginia. Very slow day.
Will be heading out after school for the afternoon hunt. I’m going back to the stand that I saw the three does yesterday. Hoping for some horns.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!
