I got busted by a sneaky, and a bit too early arriving deer this morning. I will admit thought that it's not hard for a deer to sneak up on me with my hearing. I was sitting with my 50 cal. Pursuit where I shot the 2 does during the early muzzle loader season, waiting for the legal shooting time at 6:36 am. That's 1/2 hour before sunrise. At 6:22 am, with barely enough lite to see it, I looked to my right and saw the brown silhouette of a deer moving from my right to left about 40 or less yards away. It must have seen me first because by the time I saw it, it was moving at a fast pace and never stopped. Not even as it was snorting and wheezing. Oh well, I haven't seen a deer in days, at least I got to see one today. Although not well enough to tell if it was a buck or a doe. I think I'll take the shotgun and try to shoot some squirrels this evening. They are running everywhere at the farm. I got an electric smoker a couple of years ago from Bass Pro Shop and haven't used it yet. Maybe some smoked squirrel would be good. I'll stick a couple of slugs in my pocket just in case. It always seems that when you're deer hunting you see squirrels, and when you're squirrel hunting you see deer.
