Well I headed out this afternoon, and got in my blind having some rain but not much. I decided to head off into the woods, to stalk around wearing ASAT today and my orange vest that is striped out as well. On the back side of the property, I found a buck that was a nice 8 point, but just a bit to far, as it looked about 35 yards with some branches in the way. I had to try and creep ever so slowly to get a bit closer. I got to with in about 23 yards, and as I was raising my bow up for the shot, he turned and was gone like the ghost of the woods.
I waited a while before heading back towards my blind, as it was starting to rain again. I sat there till almost dark, observing several does wonder thru, but they are hands off as it is bucks only.
Just as the light was really getting low, I noticed movement in the upper pasture of a large bodied grey ghost, one I had not seen before but could tell that it was much larger than the buck I had seen earlier. To far out past the tree line, and I was at least 100 yards up in the timber. I headed out the other way, to cut around where I thought he might come out as I had about 10 minutes of legal shooting light left.
I arrived where I thought he would be, but he had not come thru as I could tell. Well, I figure its all good, because he didn't see me, but I saw him and tomorrow is another day in my bowhunting world.
