now that i have a doe in the freezer, and only buck tags left for Mass. I'm huntin for something with bone. after taking care of the doe, the next time I a did a bit of mid season scouting and found a bunch of annual scrapes back in use.
can't hunt on sundays here in the last blue-law state, so a week ago sunday I took my four year old 'hunting' mid day to hang a trail camera over the one of the scrapes. she had a great time and I was excitedly anticipating the week as I had the 7th 8th and 9th off work. hunted hard all week and didn't see a single deer, but the camera continually had hits. so though frustrated, I keeped wondering whats been travelling the trails at night. this past sunday we went back out to swap the film, but of course I forgot the roll. so I pulled the whole camera.
anyway...we dropped it off at the 1 hour place and picked it up on our way to her ice skating lesson. this is what I found on the 2nd pic on the roll!
now...my spirits start to upswing..both at my daughters athletic ability (only her 5th time on skates) and at the bone I'm looking it....
then I hit this pic from later in the week:
same deer using the scrape later in the week. getting excited. now 3 or 4 of does and a fawn, and also a couple other bucks. all at night. so now I'm getting eager to get back on stand....come to find out sunday night, the wifes called to denver on business, I've got the 4 year old to myself until wendesday evening. I CAN'T GO HUNTING TIL THURSDAY!!!!!!
I'm shakin like I got the DTs....what do I do?!?!?
