Thanks for the welcome back comments. Felt great to actually be back in the woods WITH a bow and know I could shoot a critter.
Wow....had a great morning hunt...lots of hog sign...but not much bear sign. So, went to overlook and had lunch near the top...and went hunting not far from there to one of 'our spots', and no bear sign at ALL there. Saw only a couple of squirrels all day. Slow it was.....but I was there.
I was closer though on the morning hunt....not far behind this one I got to follow tracks for a while...
