Hi all, I was having some serious trouble with the blogg action as I could not recover my pass word to save my xxx. Joe it is good to be able to see all the deer and other stuff on your blog and to hear the stories.
Tom Rebisz and I went Muzzleloading the last week end in the northern zone. I had four days off and I could not get in front of a deer to save myself. I had all intentions of shooting two or three and I ended up not even shooting. Normally I have shot up a storm during this late season. No snow at home and extremely warm weather made it kind of crappy for the deer hunting. I spent two days around the house and saw only a flash of one deer (Thursday and Friday). I went up to the property in Providence on that Saturday night and we started seeing some deer. There was just a little snow, about a half inch- perfect! It was nice getting into the camp and this camp is secluded, it is off the road a couple of miles and when you sleep in it, there are no cars/trucks going by, just total silence. A big difference from the Speculator camp. I love it there and it is big woods, but hearing a car/truck going by is a frequent occurrence. Funny how you notice small things like that. I got into the Providence camp about 9:30, when I went to bed I had it up to 65 degrees and I loaded the stove, it was up to 85 degrees a couple hours later. Four wheeling in on a rough trail is a nice adventure.
Tom saved the day by shooting two, a small one by the house on Saturday and a big doe, on Sunday up on our property. He shot twice on Sunday and I saw three but did not get a good shot so I did not shoot. Tom saw something like nine or ten. Much more deer sign in by the camp though and I kind of kicked myself for hunting two whole days with no deer being had around the house. There have been a lot of guys hunting around the house this year and it seems to be taking it's toll. This year was a slow one for our gang, Tom got the two does with the muzzleloader the last weekend and nothing else. John got none. I got that small doe in Letchworth and my eleven pointer and nothing else (I can't complain). I had my multiple chances in Letchworth and blew it. I did not see anything to shoot up here after that though and I hunted alot.

Well, ending the season with that buck you have nothing to complain about. Although you did blow your chance in Letchworth (haha). Next year I guess. Whose camp were you hunting in up in the mountains? Sounds like a good place to hunt.
