Hey guys last weekend and this weekend I hunted the new property my dad bought for the first time.
heres what happened
last weekend:
Day one
I saw a nice doe at about 20 yards in the middle of all the brush no shot
dad saw 1 buck just before daylight under his stand caught his sent and took off then 4 does came out into the clover field, about half hour after they left he saw 5 more in the same spot. no shot all about 40-50 yards away.
Afternoon we saw nothing
day two
could only hunt for about an hour in the morning we had to have a drive way put in from the road to our trailer.
this past weekend
day one
i saw nothing
dad took a shot a real nice 4 pointer but missed at about 10 yards i think he hit a branch with the arrow
afternoon
saw 4 does took shot at 15 yards and i dont know how i missed
dad did not hunt
day two
only did a morning hunt because we had to be back at work monday morning (3 hour drive)
dad saw a buck that he said looked like a horse way to far about 75 yards
i was hunting from the ground saw a small doe looked like a fawn and a smaller 6 pointer
i tried to take the shot at about 20 yards in the open and missed again

man i have been practicing almost every weekend since easter and i dont know whats wrong with me i shoot good but when im in the deer woods it seems like i cant hit a barn from 10 feet away, i guess i need to do some practice shots in the woods.

well i thought that you guys might want to hear about our first trips out we will be going one or two more times after all the leaves fall before shotgun season. It will give me some more time to practice before we go out again.
