Great goin', GB. Looks like there'll be some good eatin' this winter!
Had a great opening weekend. Went to the lake house (it doubles as a hunting lodge in the winter since its 5 minutes from my lease) Friday night and came home last night. Saw a bunch of deer both days. Gave one a haircut Saturday afternoon but could find no evidence of hitting meat. Got a good report on the Iron Bowl as I was coming out of the woods after dark. Got up the next morning and looked once more to see if I'd hit the deer the day before. Went stalking in mid morning and watched a nice buck stretch, take a dump, and then nibble on stuff for about 20-25 minutes. Trouble was, he was on the next guy's property about 75 yards. At one time he walked toward me about 10 yards, but eventually eased off into the brush. This all was on the power line easement out in plain open view. I could have killed him at any time, but just didn't want to do it illegally. Just the rush of watching him felt good. It is great getting back hunting after missing last year. Finally neck shot (with my 7mmX08, GB) a nice meat doe yesterday afternoon. Got home last night and watched the tape of the Iron Bowl. Great weekend!!!!!! War Eagle!
