You got it Richard. Spent 6 days at my cabin, hunted every day and saw lots of deer. Still got several tags but in a different area. Our season ends 11-29-09 unless there is a damage control hunt or a late hunt called. Had fun with one little girl who had her 2 fawns with her. Headed her off and froze in the middle of a clearing just before she got there. She come out and saw me, stopped and stared, come closer and sniffed. Then a couple more steps closer and staring hard. I'm froze stiff, not moving anything but breathing and she keeps checking me out like some stud pool boy at the country club.
Turns and starts away, comes back closer and stomps her foot a couple of times, couple steps closer, looks at her fawns and then me again. She got within about 20 feet of me. For over 4 minutes this little girl checked me out before finally moving off. Thought I was gonna have to scare her off so I could move. Blaze orange vest, black carhartt coat and faded blue jeans, must be real good camo.
Mulies seem to be more curious than whitetail, had fun with 3 others doing the same kinda thing, none hung around as long as that one, but none took off acting scared. DP
