CA deer; 2nd weekend
« on: July 24, 2007, 10:38:00 AM »
It got hot in more ways than one this weekend.  I was standing in the top of the draw that splits the vineyard, admiring the view, when out of the corner of my eye I saw a shadow on the grass coming down the trail. Definately a deer. Just didn't know what gender. I melted back into the grass at the side of the trail and waited. I had the wind on my side and good cover. A few minutes later a very large doe walks up to me. If we were allowed to shoot does here my tag would have been filled. A lot of action with does but no bucks.  
Next day there was a fire on the property! Tree fell on the powerline and started a fire. Burned about 25-30 acres and came about 100 feet short of the vineyard and 50 feet short of my friend's house.
No hunting this weekend as I'm on call for work; can't be more than an hour away from downtown. Next Monday or the following weekend I'll be at it again. Then it's off to Africa!

All I've seen so far this year out has been skunks!
Pick a spot and concentrate!
