CT opened saturday..... morning sit saw small spike still in velvet... nothing in afternoon... was getting hundreds of pics per week last month, but nothing over the last month... found out why... 7pm sat night (primetime), sitting off field edge and hear a gun shot right out in front of me and hear a deer crash in woods about 50 yards to left... then truck drives down through field and I hear man and women talking...cell phones ringing, etc... so, since my night is now ruined, i climb down and go out to field... It was the crop damage hunters, who we thought couldn't hunt there anymore... they shot a doe from truck on field edge right by me... so loud i almost fell out of tree since i didn't expect a gun shot during bow season that close... way to screw up our opening day...
i asked them what they had shot so far and they said "a handful of bucks and a handful of does".
This one went into the woods and they weren't even gonna go in and look for her since she left the field... so i snapped on them... i don't think they are very fond of me now!
I will be going there again tonight, but am gonna hike up onto ridge away from fields and hope the deer are holding up there and staying away from fields...
I had at least 12 different bucks on cam and 3 or 4 shooters...
ugh... wtf...
