Today it will be above zero even with the wind chill so I'm hoping to be able to stay out a little longer. I'm not sure about the rest of the weekend as far as scheduling, but if today isn't successful hopefully I'll be able to get out another time or two.
Wish me luck! I could sure use it.
Luck be with you!!!
I have hunted hard this ML season, I think I hunted everyday, even the -14 morning, & there have been MANY cold days!! one day didn't get out until the afternoon, after the opening weekend I hunt in the A.M. & then go out again in the P.M.
not a good year, I did have a shot (wet powder) & I seen a pretty nice buck, (to far). I have seen a doe with a fawn, & a doe with two fawns, (No shots) after the snow the woods came alive with sign, tracks, droppings, beds, etc, some of the tracks are big, & I always (right or wrong) associate big tracks with big deer. I think the bucks have went nocturnal, I seen the doe with the fawn tonight as I was leaving, it would have been a shot that would need some luck, & I don't take those (although I was tempted) we still have Sat. & Sun. & I will be there, I really don't get upset when I don't get a deer, I just enjoy being out there, although this year was a challenge. again good luck to ya, & all others going out,
