Title: Finally found some deer.
Post by: Jerry Jeffer on November 03, 2014, 05:02:00 PM
I couldn't get into the woods until 9:30 today, and had to be out by 2:30, so I used the day to hike around looking for deer and sign. Well, I hiked! Across the mountains.

I hiked around beaver swamps.

I gazed from the summit.

I moved through the woods.

After it was all done, I had seen 11 Does. The very windy conditions on the mountain allowed me to stalk for some shots. I failed miserably. I took a few long shots. With the winds gusting up the mountain, my arrows were blown of course for clean misses. Or, maybe I just shot like crap today.

Well, it's a big woods on the mountain, and I have a long hike to get where the deer are. Good thing I'm on vacation.    ;)
