Good news.....
Bad news.....it was in the 80’s today so I took the easy way out and sat in the condo.
Well I took the advice of going into a new area. Yesterday, we had to leave work for an hour so they can test the fire suppression and alarm systems. So I took a quick ride to an area I've been wanting to get into, its public bordering a state game lands. I stopped on the side of the highway, and didnt make it into the woods before I found first sign..... I was wearing waders and it was raining so I am not terribly worried about scent, but I didnt stay long. I needed to look around a little bit so I jumped over the trail and peeked around a bit, found 4 scrapes and a handful of rubs, then I saw him.. a solid 9 just outside his ears, feeding in daylight 85 yards away not 40 yards off the highway. I back out immediately and slowly he never knew I was there, but I'm gonna stay out for a few days then get a plan together to get after him.. I'm hunting out of state friday and sunday then next week I'll be trying to figure him out! There's no hunting pressure in the immediate area but the property does border state land so I need to be aggressive I'm just gonna have to figure out how to be aggresive and not blow it. Anyway, hope yall are having a great season! Keep knocking them down!
Quick clean kill he was dead where I heard him crash.. he came in from behind me and by the time I heard him with the soft wet leaves he was directly behind me at 15 yard. He was down in a ravine so it was a pretty steep shot angle. By the time I saw him he was smelling my path I walked in on I spun around thought he was decent and let one fly.. He’s a decent 3.5 year old but I’m a little disappointed had I seen him walk in and had time to evaluate I wouldn’t have probably shot him. But everything happens for a reason and I’m happy I made a good shot on him.. on too doe patrol and maybe an out of state trip now.
Couple more nights at work and we are on vacation for a few weeks. I plan on doe hunting Friday night at the farm where I shot my buck. Going to get Sabrina a few dry runs this week in the saddle and her first hunt will be on Sunday.. I have a really good farm I planned to take her too that hasn’t really been touched. But scapes at another one are staring to heat up. See what the wind is but things appear to be getting ready to cut loose.
