Hi All,
Saturday morning was a textbook hunt.
Saturday afternoon was a nature documentary
We didn't get birds to come in to the decoys, but we saw plenty in the fields, and a dozen deer including a doe and a yearling who didn't know what the blind WAS, but they knew they didn't LIKE it. Played 'stomp&peek' with us for a good 15min until they got bored and wandered off. We waited them out (even though it was after legal turkey time) just to not spook them or let them associate the blind with people. Really shows why you have to either leave your blind set up for them to get used to it or brush it in well. Turkeys walk right by but deer notice changes.
Not quite the same success as BigDog, but it was a good afternoon out all the same.
Sunday we took in the all traditional shoot in Chelsea PQ (Special Guest Star Frenchymanny) which was a great time in spite of the wet start.
Next weekend it'll be back to the turkeys
