We had our 6th annual bowhunt in southern Indiana this weekend. It was a blast as usual. 3 guys had to cancel last minute so we were short a couple regulars but 6 of us were there.
My brother Mike was there on Wednesday and set up my home away from home.
He set his stand and had several deer come in at last light but couldn't get a shot.
Billy and Merl also showed up Wednesday. Billy got out but nothing showed for him. Merl was just camping this year. Here's Billy's abode, a home-made teardrop.
Moleman was there on Thursday and picked his geetar for us at the fire. He is very talented and was an abolute hoot. He was our only rookie this year but he'll be back. He escaped before the camera came out so no pics of his cool Baker tent setup.
I showed up Thursday also. I hunted the evening and found a really nice trail but nothing showed. In the morning I had 2 deer walk nearby as I sat in my ghillie gaurding a saddle in the ridge. No shots but a nice encounter with some pretty does.
Overall the deer hunting was pretty slow. There are so many acorns on the ground that we suspect the deer simply don't have to move much. We've had lots of rain and all the creeks are full so water isn't a movement inducer either. No more deer were seen until Saturday evening despite our covering lots of ground. There is still sign in the area but we didn't see a lot of deer flesh on the hoof.
Friday evening was wet and rainy with a cold front moving through. I got soaked and had to quit 30 minutes early. Stiks-n-Strings shows up around midnight. Mike and I and Kris had a blast around the fire after he showed up. Unfortunately he kept us up too late so we decided to sleep in
Here's Stiks' hammock setup.
