My brother, Tim, went out this morning and saw one doe. I'm can't wait until Friday morning so I get out myself.

I can tell you that I under dressed...!!! lol

I saw one doe but not before she saw me.

It was about 8:15 approximately I think because I had just checked my watch about 10 minutes earlier to make a mental note as to when the wind had made a strong shift out of the east at 8:05.

All morning I was being reminded that wearing "Bug Skinz" is almost like wearing an air conditioner..lol When the wind picked up I felt as if all of my extremities were about to freeze so I did a slow stand up and stretch. As I started to turn I saw standing less than 50 yds front me a mature, sleek, fat doe who had me pegged since the one step I had taken left me with nothing behind me to break up my outline.

She didn't run off...yet anyway..lol

I decided that I would remain still until it looked safe to slowly get back into my Pacseat chair. I finally made it down to one knee, grabbed my bow, apparently making more movement that she could take..lol She turned and walked back the direction she came from.

I relaxed a bit and decided I need to make a change so if I had to stand up again I wouldn't have to take a step that would put me in the open without any back drop.

In the process of doing this(thinking she had left the country) I got nailed by her again as she had started to come back...lol

It is called hunting and I am supposed to be better at it than I was this morning.

All rookie like mistakes.

Oh well, it is just opening morning....lol

You can see by my attire that I am trying to meet Nate and a couple of others challenge of doing it as old school as I know how.

God bless, Mudd

I'm heading to my farm after work. My dad has been giving me the daily deer report and I am chomping at the bit! The way he tells it, I've got a lot of fat does to choose from.

You guys have got me all psyched up and I have to wait for my doctors appointment next Tuesday to see when I'm allowed to pull a bow.
Go get 'em

MUDD, here's a free tip that is sure to help you out. As we bowhunters get older we need to hide behind wider trees.

kevin braun · « **Reply #9 on:** September 15, 2011, 03:45:00 PM »

A couple weeks back I located a nice flock of turkeys and to my surprise it has not one... but TWO...................white ones. Yes I said white. My focus is now on the birds!!!

Mudd · « **Reply #10 on:** September 15, 2011, 03:47:00 PM »

Dan (MOFISH) if I were as thin as you are any old sapling would do...lol

I was set up with a big tree behind me and a big tree in front of me and where does she show up? off at a right angle to both trees...lol

God bless, Mudd

gio tundo · « **Reply #13 on:** September 15, 2011, 07:52:00 PM »

Saw 8 doe passed up two of them. Saw the first turkey I have ever seen anywhere remotely close to Carrol county. Stalked 3 ft from a sleeping fox that had real bad mange. And shot a black ferrol cat that has been harrasing the farm owners dogs, wanted to see the damage a deadhead would do its head

« **Reply #14 on:** September 15, 2011, 09:34:00 PM »

i went soon as i got off work.
seen three, only chance for a shot turned out to be a spike when he came around the big cedar, so he got to walk.
i tried the permethrin and i didnt get any ticks... that makes me happy

swp · « **Reply #15 on:** September 15, 2011, 10:02:00 PM »

Yea, on the NE wind. Thats a once or twice a year event....

I was doing some scouting and it really made me stop and think about how I was walking the property....

We still have some time to go....
