second chance
I have recently been given an opprotunity to hunt a local ranch. With the stipulation that I shoot "cull" Bucks only.
Yesterday morning I saw 15 deer. One good 8pt. "non-cull" and 14 doe and fawn.
Last night I saw one doe with her fawn and one doe and the larges 4pt I have ever seen. Perfect cull deer. He was with the doe and neither one would come into the clearing I was hunting. Untill it was almost to dark to shoot. Well, I tried it anyway and cleanly missed.
With the strong cold front approaching SE Texas this evening I am planning to hunt all afternoon in hopes they will be on the move before the front hits.
What do the think the odds are that I will see him again today from the same stand?
I do not have manystand locations that will workwith the current south wind. Forcing me to either hunt the same stand or huntwith the wind against me in a different stand.
