Hey guys,
Hunting has been REALLY slow for me after last weekends fiascos. Anyway, here's a day by day.
Friday - Hunted behind the house in the evening. Saw one big deer go through early at about 50 yards and had a six point walk directly under my stand at dark.
Saturday - Hunted behind the house in the morning. Jumped a mess of deer going in. Saw one big deer moving through at 8:00. Saw a nice big opossum.
Saturday night - Found a great spot to hunt behind the house (huge rubs), but the wind was blowing about 40mph.
Sunday Morning - Great morning to hunt (I could see my breath), but no deer!
Monday Night - 83 degrees!!! Hunted my Orchard stand in Letchworth. Had bucks all around me fighting, grunting, tearing up trees, but only saw one small 8 pointer.
Tuesday Morning - Went duck hunting with Steiner and Baker. Lots of shooting and 4 ducks killed in the pouring rain.
Tuesday Evening - Rain! Went to the Power line stand at the end of Degoyler road in the park. Saw 5 huge toms, but no deer.
Well that's it. Overall very slow so far, but the weather has finally broken and I think the time is coming. Here's the update on deer taking at this point.
