Default I dumped the MUZ & held a bow tonight.

It's MUZ season and I decided to take a Magicman walk and track some deer in the snow today. I dressed light and walked about 3 miles today. I got on a track of about 7 deer and followed them to a known bedding area. I set down and played the wind after Icame up on a yearlingfeeding near a thicket..

It was 3PM and I held tight...I was P$$ED because I had a tent blind waiting with a muzzleloader and a buddy heater...[8D]As I started to shiver...I saw some red tail hawks..bluejays were thick..and had a cottontail sniff my boot

At 4:45 PMwhich is almost dark now in Mich...My 7 deer began to exit the bedding area...In full snow camo..I was one with the snow....Never seen.... they began to funnel out at about 30 yards...small doe, button, another button, a 3 pointer, and big MAMMA...she was the one I wanted...she was the only deer that looked me in the pupils...I had a broadside shot for about 3 seconds and she turned with her arse facing away...I never took the shot...

I learned something today. Magicman was right...I made a track...I set up...and I had deer.

It's 18 degrees in Michigan right now boys...I carried Columbian wool snow camo for a quiet draw..but the pulling was tough...
