Well, Needless to say the little hunting trip was cut severly short due to the weather and the new property we were supposed to be hunting. We made it up north around noon on Friday. We (my brother in-law and I) were suppose to be hunting 40 acres our friend had set up for us. However, when Dennis (brother in-law) and I go to the property to put up stands, we couldn't help but notice how many stands were already on the property. We knew someone else had to be hunting the same property. So as soon as our friend got home from work at 1pm, we ran over to the property owners house (an elderly couple owns the property). We asked the gentlemen if anyone else was suppose to be hunting the property. He said no but just to make sure he called his wife at work. It turns out his wife gave permission to a couple people she works with - New 40 acres...down the drain. So all we had left to hunt was the 30 acres our friend's dad owns behind his house. This actually is the same area we hunted last year and did fairly well. However, Dan (our friend) told us he's been out there five times this year and hadn't seen anything. He said the people that own the property right behind his dad leased it out this year to a couple of guys. Ever since those guys have been around, Dan and his brother havn't seen any deer.
So, needless to say we hunted there Friday night and Saturday morning. I can't explain how hard it rained Friday night - the entire four hours I was in my stand. The wind was blowing about 20 to 30 mph constantly. Rain, snow, and sleet smacking me in the side of the face. All I saw was a little button buck. Saturday morning same weather but still hunted - saw nothing. Saturday afternoon I looked at Dennis and said lets go home.
I went out Sunday morning at home and didn't see anything. This morning, I watched two little bucks walk right by me. I couldn't help but with them with my grunt and Can. I highly enjoyed watching their confusion.

NUBO - I will put something together for your scrapbook by the end of the week. Sorry it's taking so long...
