Just back from a hunting/camping trip...another one "Hawked"
« on: November 01, 2010, 11:55:00 PM »
Went on a hunting trip to a nearby WMA. Quite a few friends went as well and we had a heck of a good time. I usually eat soup and hotdogs and such and hunt hard but several of these fellows were Dutch oven Masters and I ate like a King every night.I mastered the art of "Schustering" for those that know what that is...

  Here is my cam with my good Buddies Decater Dunagen and Dennis Rice camps behind. A snoring duet...

 

Good Buddy Chris Spikes and I made a few scouting trips. I was hobbled a bit with a leg still healing and these fellows helped out a lot...

 

  Decater on a log checking things out...

 

Gotta have some pics of the River thrown in..

I spent the better part of three days hunting the owner of this....

 


Never saw him. Its on a ridge I hunt some every year and have seen several good bucks on. I missed one here a few years back. I did`nt want to kill my whole hunt on this deer so I went scouting for a feed tree . Ran into this fella while scouting..he shoulda climbed higher..

 

Everyone saw Turkeys I believe . This WMA is loaded with them..


 

My Buddy Marty "Apex Predator bows" shot a deer we decided to track midday.
 
 It was very easy track job and I left Marty to field quarter his deer as I headed on to a feed tree I found nearly two miles in. One of the best I`ve seen in a couple of years...

I settled into my stand at about 3:00 and heard a deer come through the palmettos and bed at about 4:00. At 5:00 it decided to come on to the tree and feed. I was sitting over a red oak and a water oak that was pouring acorns and looked like cows had been under them for a month.

  The deer came in and turned sideways at 12 steps. The shot looked good..

 

  I thought I heard the deer crash and I took a compass bearing . Its a good habit because everything looks different from the ground.There was a very good bloodtrail . Magnus I heads don`t play..

 

 

At the end of a 75-80 yard blood trail ther he was. Not a big one but very hard earned. Its nearly two miles to where this buck lay and the truck.Sometimes you gotta go deep on public land..

 

Packed up and ready for the hike out.
 
 A very good day. Thank you Lord,RC.

Way cool RC!

It's good to see the "Hawk" hasn't lost a step just because you did..lol

It's really good to know that you're out and about.

God bless,Mudd

RC, another nice hunt for you. I always enjoy seeing your swamp hunts. Looks like you and your buds had a great time. That is also a nice looking bow you have.

Great photos and story, I sure miss that hunt with you all.  Good shot on that deer.  Any hogs killed?
