Thanks for following along this week everybody, I had a great time as always at Kenny's. It sure was good to see some of my old friends again and get to hunt with them I just wish Terry could have made it and completed our team but we know family and a business comes first. This was my first hunt and test since some major health problems and I was glad that everything went just fine for me.
I will make mine short and let the story tellers Curt and Charlie tell there's like there supposed to be done
We sure hit some crummy (Rain) weather for the first 4 days but that's the way it goes' but we hung in there and did the best we could.
My first morning sit was in one of Kenny's ladder stands on the new 40acre's and it didn't take long and I had two does come by at 35yds browsing. Twenty minutes later 3 more a big doe and twins but they feed around a couple oaks for 30 minutes, had shots at the young ones but never the big doe. After getting out I did a little scouting to warm up and check out the area and everything looked very good except you guys coming up on the next hunt might want to avoid this corner of the CRP field.
Them buggers could be trouble but Kenny will show you were there at. That night is when I sit in the stand were Charlie had his fall last year, so glad he's able to still be able to hunt with us this year. That's were the snapping turtle and woodchuck paid me a visit and right at dark I had four deer come in but to dark to shoot.
That night Kenny came over and while we were talking about a place we had seen he told us that there was a field of soybeans in all those weeds I just hadn't noticed. Plans were made and I would take my little strap on stand a couple steps and head in there a have a look see.
In the dark the next morning I didn't have to go far the sign was really good and fresh since the rains had stopped briefly.
I found a great spot were three trails intersected and I climbed up on a brush pile set my stand on a tree maybe six feet off the ground, brushed it in a little and climbed in just as the sky was turning blue. I forgot to take a pick of that stand but I know Curt took one because he was shocked I shot a deer out of it I think. :D
