I made it out today on the local WMA. No shots taken but I had a great hunt.
20 minutes after I got out of the Yak I had 2 doe cross the river and swim to shore 50 yrds from me.
Unfortunately they turned and went away from me into the wind.
I had another coming toward me a little later but a shifty wind made her turn around at 40 yrds.
Next time I am using the climber and waiting.
Based on the sign I saw today there is a lot of deer in the area and crossing the river is not an issue for these deer.
