LIVE from the saddle 2023

Got out yesterday AM with a buddy. Couldn't find a great tree and ended up in a four-trunked maple near a field edge. Got busted at 645 or so, right about the time he connected on a decent doe. A half hour later I had a doe down. Short tracks jobs for each of us but it took over 3 hrs to get them dressed and back to vehicles.

Congrats @Bdwilliams!

I came back to the truck for lunch and mainly to wait for the wind to switch and watched this family of 4 and their dog pull up, get out, read the sign that specifically says no recreating on hunting dates without a quota permit, and promptly walk into the woods with the 2 kids jumping around, running, and yelling +dog barking

at least they didn't drive thru the woods and park under your tree, start picking up walnuts for 2 hrs....chick did that to me Saturday. wasn't all bad, she was kinda cute
 
First hang of the year. Finally. From my little honey hole right off the road that gets overlooked.

My daughter sat quite patiently and almost something that resembled quietly for just over two hours in a ground blind this evening. She ate snacks and drank way too much blue drank, practiced closing one eye to look through the rangefinder and crossbow sight (she needs an eye patch but it’s damn cute to watch her struggle to shut just one eye), we learned how to identify blue jays by their calls, postulated what the hell the squirrels were chittering about, practiced weapons safety, ate more snacks, read a 2015 D&DH article about doe matriarchy (for real, 2nd grade, she read every word silently to herself then updated me on the social discrepancies between bucks and does), and she capped off the last half hour by silently belting her favorite original tune into the top end of a monopod. We did see a squirrel snack on an acorn at 16yds and when we exited the woods, I knew there would be some deer in the field thanks to my cell cam so I pointed and said “I told you we’d see deer tonight”. That seemed enough for her. She said “can we go tomorrow?”
Why, yes. Yes we can.
I dunno if that qualifies as live from the saddle but it sure was a great night of hunting.
