Went out this morning and this evening in that same blind. Nothing but a few deer running through the woods a ways off. i could hear them, but no see 'em. sad news was the daughter wasnt home today

Green Pea

Well I can't call it a hunt but I did do some watching. Directly behind my house is a corn field with a strip of woods that seperates my yard and the field. I have several large oak trees in that strip and I'm putting up a ladder stand against one that over looks a sweet bedding area. Any how tonight I walked back there and climbed up a ladder into the oak tree that I'm putting the stand against. I was there for maybee 20 minutes when 5 does walked in and started munching on some corn I placed in a couple of piles. No bucks yet but there sure to visit the lady's shortly. Unfortunatly our dog came flying back there to check out what I was doing and the does hit the road. I could hear her in the house carrying on. She must of saw me head back there and one of my boys let her out.

Lesson 1; Either kill the family pet early on or be a little more stealthy when heading back to my spot. Think I'll try option two.

Got off work this morning and sleptuntil a afternoon hunt. Me and dad went to the swamp spot and only seen tree rats. Had a good afternoon thunderstorm so all the tracks where washed out and there was a nice set of fresh tracks in the mud not 15 yards from stand. Was in stand by four, stopped raining around two. Must have just missed it! Have to go in to work in the morning for a few hours and then me and dad will do another evening hunt. Good luck all!

awshucks

1st trip out today. Under the lessons learned/remembered column:

1. Anti-fog for eyeglasses works better if not left on table.
2. Range funder won't work w/ humidity on front lenses.
3. Changing batteries won't help.
4. That neat little dead limb you hang pack on rots in a year.
5 Thank the Lord for that little breeze that clears glasses and cools ya off.
6.Too bad He couldn't have had it blow from opposite direction.
7.Hanging quiver on a branch works better w/ no breeze.
8. Can't get judo point arrow for squirrel w/ quiver on ground.
9. Finally know how Barney Fife [one bullet] felt all those years.
10. That 5 am failed attempt on the throne will come back to haunt you.
11. That idea of going through all the pouches on pack to see where stuffs at was a good one, shoulda done it.
12. Solunar table appears accurate, no deer.

I left the house at 5:55 am and got up into ladder stand at 6:08 am. Sat there and watched as it got light, had my friends come by birds & squirrels and a rabbit. I guess about 8:30 am 3 deer came to the oaks, 2 Doe's and a 4 pt. I shot the 4 pt. [8D]the doe's left split city quick. [&o]The 4 pt. ran thru all that brush about 75 yds. before dropping on the ground. I blood trailed his sorry butt thru all that thicket and briars and found him out on the atv trail![]Miss Vixen has scored another date with a Buck!
