After reading Tom's (KentuckyTJ) late season hunt thread I decided to grab my camera as I walked out the door early this morning. Hope you enjoy my morning hunt.
Here in southeastern PA we received around 4" of snow on Saturday. Just enough to really light up the landscape. I have a small 30 acre property about a mile from my home that really fills up with deer this time of year. It was timbered a few years back and all the mess that comes with timbering has provided a wonderful bedding area and better yet, a safe spot for deer to yard up.
I hunted the property on Saturday night following the storm and had a few opportunities but the deer knew I was there and just too wired to risk a shot. I didn't plan on heading out this morning but woke early enough for a cup of coffee and the 5 minute drive.
Not long after I got settled this is what unfolded....
Ten minutes later the intensity got even better! I was so glad I rolled out of bed!
The first hour was pretty quiet and I was more intent on taking photos than sitting quietly. The squirrels were moving about along with a variety of birds.
A few minutes after 8 I caught some movement on my left as these 3 does move down the trail towards my stand. I reached deep into my pocket struggling to get the camera out and turned on before they got too close. They hung up at 30 yards, perfect for a few photo opts. So cool.....
