Don't worry about getting in the woods late Tim. I've shot lots of deer at lunchtime. ;D

Got my double two weeks ago at 10:30 am after being in the woods only one hour.......  in fact, over the years I have only shot two deer around daybreak,   all the rest were between 9am and noon.    ;D  sounds like a strategy for sleeping in a little...  :D

Nothing today, saw a small herd of elk tho, no bulls, just cows. Corey had to be home by 4pm, so it was a short day, will try again Sunday.

thanks,

Tim

Good job, Tim !
Opening day that doe's twin sister walked under our apple tree at 6 PM. That morning I had told my brother that since he has never managed to put a tag on a deer, he got first shot. We are on an island, with "any deer" legal, and only revolvers and shotguns legal also. Being from Spokane area, I have never hunted deer with a slug gun. Holy cow ! The huge holes leave a blood trail that you just can't miss. It ran maybe 100 yards, which in our "jungle" would be a worry even if it weren't getting dark, but we just walked up to it, no problem.
So I have devoted as much time as I could trying to get my own. (Somebody just gave us a freezer...it would be a shame not to fill it, right ?) The trail cam has caught a nice fork horn buck several times, eating our apples after dark. Maybe in the late season the rut will get him moving in daylight.
BTW, my brother got drawn for a second deer tag, so he may return. This time he doesn't get first shot though !
My brother is on the right in the photo, that's me on the left.
