After I decided to head in for some quick grub, I wanted to check the little area bout 75 yards away. I'd hunted there before, and seen bucks, and wondered how 'hot' it was. I found 6 fresh scraps, and some really nice rubs....tuff choice on where to hunt after lunch....specially since I had a swamp to check out as well that was really hot last year...just tuff to hunt.
After lunch I headed out with a guy I'd met the night before that's a recurve shooter, Tim was his name, to go to the swamp....and I was going to show him an area just beyond to check out. The swamp was hot again, but its just difficult to hunt off the ground, cause you can't cover enough sign by setting up on the fringe, and when you get in the middle of it, and the wind was swirling too much as I got winded just slipping around in there.
With no trees tall enough to climb, and no lock on stand in the truck...and a chainsaw was needed as well to get in there right and attempt to cheat the wind....so I decided to go back to my area, but I still had another decision of whether to hunt the same spot, or the new seemingly 'hotter' spot just south of me....I agonized over this one as I stood at the entrance for at least 10 minutes...I needed to get in there and get set up.
I made the choice to hang with my original spot as all the bucks I'd seen, even while hunting the 'hotter' spot last year, came through my original spot. I just couldn't give it up........Especially being that close to a HUGE buck the day before..
