Hey guys!
Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Between covering shifts for a sick co-worker and being involved with a major project, work is sucking the life out of me. And they wonder why I want to retire early!
I've been getting after it in whatever free time I have though, bouncing around and trying new areas. Had a real close encounter early yesterday morning with a 3 1/2 year old 10 point. He came in on my exposed side at eye level so I couldn't move to take the shot. Then he got behind some evergreens only to pop out 50 yards away and push a couple of does, that I was watching feed, further up the hillside.
Last night I had three does come in before sunset so I took one to get meat in the freezer and points on the board.
Set up real early this morning hoping that 10 point would cruise by again but he never did. Got a heavy bodied 8 point somewhere on the hill behind my house that I'm going after this evening.
My buddy in PA let me know the rut is in full swing where he is so that's where I'll be hunting tomorrow. Fingers crossed...
