Another bust! Thursday through Sunday and - NOTHING!
My trail cam showed little activity and all of it was after dark.
Same for the areas my 2 other hunting buddies hunt.
About the only productive thing I did was clear some more of the property line of the section I hunt. I'm going to make 4 wheeler access all around that area and look for new stand sites. I think I'm finally going to break down and get myself a small (250cc) 4 wheeler. Just something to get me in and out of the area. I can't seem to walk as far as I used to anymore.
'course, 50 years of smoking and the big belly that is evident in my new avatar may have something to do with that!
Well, actually we did see one deer. Hunting buddy #2 was driving my truck (well after dark) down to the farm since I was feeling a mite poorly, when I suddenly got eyeball to eyeball contact with a doe through the windshield! She was coming at a run from the left (median) and I just had time to holler "LOOK OUT!" Roger jerked the car to the right and I heard a heckova bang. She hit the left rear quarter panel a glancing blow just over the rear tire. When we got stopped a pickup pulled in behind us and asked if we hit a deer. He said he saw her getting up after we passed. Roger said "you don't 'spose she had insurance do you?"
Fortunately there was just two 6 inch scrapes down the side of my truck. Not even any real dent.
I'm finished hunting until after T'giving and will probably only go down every other weekend for the next couple a months. The only good thing is I have my 2 legs of Bambi in the freezer now!
