Just got back from the AM hunt. Overall pretty successful. I set out of my house at 0545 and start the walk in the dark. I start nearing an area that Ive been scouting with plenty of sign at about 0640. I hear a very near coyote, followed by a full orchestra of howls that send a chill up my spine. I decided to hold what I got at that location for a bit. After I no longer hear the pack I continue the move to my spot right behind a rock fence. Im in place by 0700
At 0720 I was within 40 yards from 4 mature does that came from right where I had walked through. Everyone of them offered me a broadside shot. I observed them for about 10 minutes and was praying that they would move closer.
The wind was howling in all directions and the closer doe, spots something out of place or smells something. Her and I get into a stare down and in one quick blow, they are all gone.
Im very happy with this mornings hunt. I'll be heading back this evening.
Good luck to all the others out today.
