I put a camera on a gut pile to see what I could catch. So far only crows, buzzards & Coyotes.

08 hunting

So far the 08 hunting season has been good for Willene & I. I got a doe 2nd day of black powder season. Opening day of gun season Willene got a nice doe 110 lbs. On the second day of gun season I got a 105 lb doe. All together there has been 12 deer taken. 6 bucks & 6 does. The bucks just started making rubs & scraps last week so looks like the rut is about to get started. I havent seen much deer sign down in the bottoms like I did last year so I might have to start looking fot the hogs. I know where they are roaming.I have some corn all ready to go for them. It has been working for about a month now. I will put it out when I go back down Thanksgiving week. Here is a picture of a little spike I got with one of my trail camera.

1st day of gun season

My wife got her first deer on opening day of modern gun season. A 110 lb doe. She said that when it stepped out she calmly picked up the gun and put the cross hairs on the deer pulled the trigger just like you told me. I was up in a tree when she shot so I sat there about 5 minutes before I got down to see if she needed any help!!! When she seen me coming down the trail she climbed down from the tower stand she was in and started waving & jumping up & down. She told me when I got up to her that Quote: I think I got one. I started to get down to look when I heard it run out in the woods and started thrashing around so I got back up in the stand just in case it came back out in the trail. As we were walking down the trail I ask her how far down the trail it was and she turned around and looked at the stand and told me that it should be right around here. I was looking all around for a blood trail & nothing.I ask her if she was sure it was right here and she said well maybe it was a little farther down the trail. As I was looking down the trail a little father I said well there it is. She had dropped it in its tracks. The one she heard thrashing around was another one that was with the one she shot. It was running away. If she would have stayed in her stand she might have gotten another one. The first thing she said to me was Quote: Is it legal??? When I told her it was legal she told me I can't stop shaking!!! It will be a hunt that she will never forget and me too!!!
