Good morning everyone, it s 39 degrees and trying to snow.
Went out deer chasing this morning. I say chasing because we could not have been hunting.
My wife insists that I don't go hunting alone. So when everyone else is off working and I want to go hunting she has to go. I am a still hunter. I don't like sittiing in blinds, I like to get out and walk. She doesn't like to get out and walk. So I leave her sitting up in high spot near where deer might cross and she can see me cover my route of about 2 1/2. It takes me about 2 hours to cover this ground. At the end of two hours she is supposed to drive down and pick me. Since we at times are as far as a mile apart, we have come up witha few hand and arm signals.
Both arms straight up over my head--Touchdowns-Score---I got a deer, come get it.
Raise my rifle over my head, I see deer, walk down to me so you can shot one.
Both arms extended straight out from my side---I shot and missed the deer is safe.
This morning as I came over a hill and I spotted some deer. I back off and turned and looked to wards my wife wh I could see sitting alonga fence line about a 1/2 mile away. I raised the rifle over my head and held it there until i saw a response from her. She got up and walked over to the truck and started driving down to me...clearly ion sight of the deer I had spotted. The deer spotted her and were gone in a flash. She got to me and asked me where the deer was. I said what do you mean the signal I gave you was walk to me. She said no you made the touch down sign. I asked her if she had looked me with here binoculars---No they were inthe truck. Grrrrr.
That's deer chasing...now it's time to go vote.
