I was out Saturday for an all day sit in my Saddle, as a last hurrah for me for 2019. season ends tomorrow but its raining/freezing rain/snow today & tomorrow.
I got a fourth arrow camera arm on friday from the saddlehunter dot com classifieds and Saturday was my first attempt at self filming with my DSLR. in Mass you can hunt till 1/2 hour after sunset, but I realized up in the saddle that my headlamp batteries had died.....so, filming squirrels & a pileated woodpecker was fun, but I started packing it up the camera about 15 min before end of legal shooting, and spooked a deer I hadn't seen...it took off like a bat outta hell. the right at last light, had the same 3 (doe & 2 fawns) come out to feed in the field 80 yards away. Lil' too far for my recurve. lol
I'm still going to edit the footage as a 'keepsake of my first video hunt'.
