Made it through a bear hunt up north without turning on my Thermacecll, but darned if I could make it through one evening hunt down home in the marsh without it. Man they are like buzz saws. There were many times more of them up north, but they were smaller by far and I seemed to handle them. These down home were darn near trophy book sized.
Saw one forkie buck sneak thru at 4:45pm (EAB area) and heard somethng in the thick maybe 40 yards away. . never saw it.
My son, sitting about 400 yards to the east, saw a doe that was almost close enough to be in deep trouble, and two turkeys.
A great start, seeing as how last year I sat 12 times before I even saw a deer on this property. Note, in days gone by I used to see deer at least every other trip out there.
Good luck, pick a good shot and shoot straight.
