To dangerous to hunt today....
 

Tomorrow is the last day of MO's bow season. Man, I can't believe it's over already. [&o] What am I gonna do now?? Anyway, I wanted desperately to give it one more shot this evening, but this darn ice storm has the woods a dangerous place to be in. Tree limbs are falling all over the place and the trunks are ice covered making tree climbing a stupid idea. I thought of still hunting, or just hunkering down on the ground somewhere, but again with all the limbs falling I'm thinking it's a bad idea.

So, with that, I say farewell to bowseason yet again without my buck. Shoot, I'm not even real picky so long as it's legal....I'm disappointed in that aspect, but I had a GREAT season regardless.

Ground blind!!!! Set one up in a weedy draw leaving some timber heading for some feeding areas. Don't quit yet!!!!

Hardcore, awesome idea....but it's all timber. No brushy draws to be found.

At least you have a good view of the neighbors now.;)

RE: To dangerous to hunt today....
 

Yea a buddy of mine went today and said it was too foggy this morning to shoot anything. He saw shadows of deer and even made out a set of antlers going through the brush, but couldnt see well enough. Pretty scary with branches and limbs falling all around you.

Mobow- I hope you have good news for us, and that you are ok.

RE: To dangerous to hunt today....
 

Well all, I made it out alive...Thank God! It was close though. A very large tree top fell right next to me.....Landed about 10 feet away...Certainly had my attention. So, between that and all the icycles falling, I headed out before dark. Enough is enough. Shoot, since all the tree branches are all hung over it's like a giant wall of ice out there anyway, I couldn't see 10 feet.

So, that's how it ends. Scott, I'll say it for ya buddy......There's always next year....[&:]

I was in a tree last night from 230p till 515p.....freezing rain the whole time. saw 8 deer coming down the draw towards me and 3 behind me. I had my bow sling over my top cam and sites to keep them from freezing over.......what a mess.

The 8 came 2/3rds the way to me and spooked......ran back up the hill and stopped. I could hardly see them, then they started back down the draw again. Spooked and ran back up the hill......last time I saw them. The wind was in my face, so the only thing I can think of is scent where I walked in......just don't think that was it.

Finally got down in the dark, turned on my green head light, started walking up the draw to the top of the ridge, boots caught on a downed limb, fell on my face, thought of HCH, took inventory of body parts, put quiver back on my bow that got knocked off and headed up the hill.

Once I get to the top of the ridge, I have about a 300 yard walk to the truck. Get there and my husband had come to wait for me.....yeaaaah, a warm truck to sit in while mine got de-iced. Was going out this am, but the fog made it just too dangerous for this gal. Even the rock driveway was hard to walk on.

This was in the North East corner of Missouri......so I truly hope MO BO is ok. Just walking is a task. Season's done for this year.

Glad you're OK MO BO.......what a mess.

RE: To dangerous to hunt today....
 

Boy, you got that right.....I've never seen so much blasted ice.....I must admit though, it was pretty cool being out there in it......NO WAY I was climbing a tree this evening though...

RE: To dangerous to hunt today....
 

Hey mobow,wouldn't those treeshave stood back up in time if you didn't take them down? :eek:
