I've got 5 popups set on our place (91 acres). Also have 3 ladder stands, but too much ice on everything to climb into one of the ladders. This is the first popup I came to in this area. Snow and ice has got it a bit lopsided, but still huntable. My sights though, were set on making it to the next blind.
The next blind sits on the edge of a 12 acre hayfield. We've got it positioned on a small finger that comes out into the field. As I got closer to the blind, I could tell something was wrong...it was gone!
Looked around a bit and found it back in the pine patch on its top....LOL...wind has been horrible the past couple of weeks. Guess those stakes didn't hold. While I was standing there contemplating my next move, a doe eased into the field in what I call "the pocket". Its the small corner to the left of the blind. Maybe an acre in size. Wind was good, but the ice underneath my boots wasn't.
She was 50 yards away and all I could do was hope she would pull back in the pines and come toward me.
After 20 minutes, she eased back into the treeline. Then headed down over the lip back to the bedding area.
I eased over to the pocket and hastily set up infront of a large pine hoping she would come back. Here's a look at "the pocket".
Just had to get a salute to my brothers and sisters at Tradgang. Without you all, I'd still be lost in traditional archery, or worse, back to hunting with wheelie bows and crossbows.
