Well we've got a connection at the moment so I'll throw in a little update. Far too many stories to begin to tell but I'll give a summary.
LOTS of deer. I guess that isn't news. But LOTS of large bucks running around. So many that it messes with your head!
I am normally not much of a trophy hunter, I immensely enjoy shooting does and am pretty much a shoot and drag kind of guy. But here, with all these good bucks, I have held off. I have passed a slam dunk shot on a little doe, a so so shot on a big doe, and let two different smaller bucks walk despite their pretending to be 3d targets for 10-15 minutes at a time. :D I see deer virtually every time out and just this morning stumbled (
) into a couple of nice ones again. They are still mature whitetails though, so not easy nuts to crack but wow what a fun hunt this has been! It is now nearing the end however so my restraint may not hold. :p
Jim Jones has still been hard on a large buck he spotted the very first morning. He has had 4 encounters, 3 of them in bow range, but he hasn't quite been able get the one up on him in the chess game. He is having great fun, but since he is hard on that buck deep in a wood lot he has seen fewer deer overall.
Steve has been voted "most likely to be run over by deer", we have all seen plenty but Steve seems to be a magnet. He has several times found himself surrounded and had the problem of too many deer a couple of times. He tried to draw twice on two different large does at just 7 yards on the ground but got busted before he could execute. He too has seen plenty of good bucks.
What a great place! It has been a fantastic hunt even if nothing else happened from here on out.
