Just checked this before scrubbing one of the kids. We'll be back for more of the story. As my youngest says, "The best bedtime stories have blood trails."
Got a few good workouts in this week. Hunter's deer is cut up. Finally got my Long Range rifle scope ordered. Tomorrow starts 21 days of archery hunting. I love the rut. Hunter is looking for his first archery buck now. We'll see if he can continue his exceptional year. I'll upload a few cam pics I have. They aren't the best quality as I have a lot of cameras over scrapes, set on video. I pause the video and snap a still of them. I'll start doing daily updates. Good luck!!
I snuck out of work early last night to set a travel corridor that's always good between the 27th and the 30th. I didn't see anything. I went back into that corridor this morning and Hunter went to a pinch point. I saw one small buck pushing three does. Hunter was blanked.
Hunter had to work tonight so we checked the cameras, hung a new set,and then I am back in the woods. Getting rained on pretty good for the last hour now. I did get one good shooter on camera and a few that might be close.
I passed a small 8 point last night and two fawns. The 8 came from Hunter's stand he's slowly learning the "joys" of work. We got up really early and hung two new sets in the dark. We're just to the NW of a little pond. Using it as a block for our wind.
Four bucks sightings yesterday. No arrows flown. Hunter did have one coming through in range actually only about 12 yards. It would not give him a good stopped broadside shot so he didn't take it.
41* this morning, 28* colder than when I got in yesterday. Passed another young buck that needs a few more years. Still getting night pics of one big shooter.
