Heck of a nite tonite!
Hit the stand at 4:00, at 4:25 a medium 8 shows along creek 250 yds out. He eats beans for a bit, then drops back in creek.
5: I hear something to the east,a deer slipping thru the brush toward the beanfield. Holy moly there is already 5 in the field! Ends up being 9 there, they are coming towards me,will hit my scent and blow outta there.
It never happens, one doe raised her nose, but nothing was said.
A few minutes later a good 8 pt comes out and starts my way. He gets past bein downwind of me and looks my way and trots off as I'm trying to get a pic.
I look back the other way and there is a GOOD 8 pt.
He makes a scrape and then heads down the trail to a 10 yd shot.He is about to hop the ditch and be in my lane when the SQUIRREL makes an acrobatic leap with a rough landing bout 8' over his head. He turns nearly inside out and leaps back to stand 8 yds from me,scanning every tree in the timber.I don't wanna shoot til he settles down, but he walks away without giving me a good shot...(meanwhile does and fawns have been coming by in bunches,lost count around 20)
Dang you squirrel!
