First day

(1/2) > >>

huntertrapper:
First day of archery and i had 2 squirrels 3 feet from me. Also i almost took a huge porcupine but decided not to. Towards 9 oclock i saw movement up the ridge. i looked closer and saw two deer. both were legal bucks. one was smaller but the other probably a more than legal six. i stalked to within 40 or 50 yards of the one and he started towards my way and i waited but then he regrouped with the smaller buck and headed into the brush. my buckskin shirt worked better than any camo ive ever worn.

ballista:
 well glad to hear you saw some hunter trapper. first day here in northwest illinois was good in the morning, saw a button buck swim a river 70m wide from my stand so im worried if i shoot one it'll head for the river and be hell from there. saw a pair of fine fox squirrel i could of easily had but passed on. dad saw 2 dozen turkey that he, too, passed on (not sure why ;D) we got out at 11:30,  we came back at 1 it was downpouring bad, i sat until 3 and walked out, going tomarrow though haha. happy hunting huntertrapper -jimmy
