Nothing
I went out to GS today and checked both stations. The guys there said nobody has seen anything. No changes in the kill numbers. I drove every road out there today and saw nothing. Not a squirrel or possum or coon or anything. Disappointing for sure. I’ll be out there this week. |
I had a pile of turkeys and a solo hog come thru this afternoon, no deer. Checked one of my cameras on the way out. 3 different bucks a few does and a Wiley coyote. Short fat boned spike, a 5 point and maybe a 6. All coming by between 2am - 5am. Definitely some around just not during shooting hours. It drives me crazy how impatient some hunters are. It seems like if nothing comes thru by 9am it turns into a competition to see who can unload the most rounds the quickest. Some sounded awful close. It gets depressing when you have 50-75 miles on the ole huffy 10-speed scouting before season and countless miles on boot walking around for the perfect set up. All to have your area hard pressed by the stinky careless hunters and the smell of gun powder. All in all a good day in the swamp.

Yeah, there are those days where they just aren't moving. I will tell you though you will see 100 times more animals sitting on stand all day than you ever will driving around, especially on the weekends. Not that cruising at slow speed will never give you a shot, but whats the fun in that. Walk the fire lines a bit and you will up your odds. Set up away from from any kind of road and find a good transition area or funnel with any kind of good tracks. Get in early and sit all day if you can. Believe me you will start seeing movement. Always be ready because when you are most relaxed and out of position is when the seem to come in.

Yes they are chasing for sure. This morning on the way into the stand the water found its way in to the boots. I had an extra pair of socks at the ready, but my long johns were like a wick, just soaking it up. I couldn't take it anymore, just too cold. Went to the house and duck taped my frog toggs to my boots. Worked like a charm. Got back in stand around 1:30 and as soon as i could get settled in, a doe came crashing thru running scared. She kept looking behind her as did I, but he never came out. Oh on the way out to get redressed I saw a man with a huge buck, 163lbs 8 point. Then a 130ld black and white hog at the check station. One month left! I just have to knock one down.
