Labor Day weekend is one I've always spent hunting or scouting (or both). I spent yesterday carrying the 2011 Miss Faith on our lease in Wise Co., Virginia looking for squirrels and scouting for bow season. Unfortunately, no squirrels were harmed in the taking of these photos.
Starting out yesterday morning (even before I got my clothes changed and boots on) found something interesting.
A buddy and I made our way around some of the property. Found some huge deer tracks. Here one is next to his boot for reference.
On we went. We've got a few bears. Seems like they've been very active lately. Here's where one was "grubbin" and made a mess...LOL
Made our way to a retention pond around one of the many gas wells. It had dried up, but the bottom was still wet enough to catch tracks. Found these and reminded us to make sure to pay a little more attention and not accidentally get between momma bear and her cub.
A closer look at momma's track.
Stayed out until the heat just made it unbearable (no pun intended...LOL) Headed home. Got up this morning and shot quite a bit until the heat drove me indoors. I'm trying to work up in weight for my month with Miss Faith in December. I came across a Bob Lee 1 pc. #60 @ 28" and bought it about a month ago. Been putting in a lot of time with it. Feel like I've got it pretty well dialed in.
