Deer hunting update.
sonny:
First morning of the season for me....warm, muggy and foggy when I left home. Wasn't so bad once I got in my stand as it seemed a little cooler, though no breeze blowing.
I didn't see anything other than squirrels but did keep hearing a turkey gobble. Pretty sure it was a jake trying to get the hang of it as it wasn't a complete gobble- sorta squeak, then partial gobble, like a teenager whose voice is changing. Couple of hens yelping a bit too, trying to get the flock together I suppose.
May not go back out this afternoon as it's supposed to be upper 80s....never know I might change my mind. Ain't particularly enjoyable when it's that hot !!
Ryano:
I heard a turkey gobbling yesterday morning too. I thought that was strange, never hear one gobble in the fall. I didnt make it out this morning, had to take the wife to the airport. I'm going to head out here in a bit though and fight the heat and skeeters..... :P
Coo-wah-chobee:
Yup heat and skeeters thats part of it....bob

I went out this morning.Hot and drizzling rain,and left my Thermacell at home :( Didn't see any deer.Did have 7 big gobblers fly down about a hundred yards in front of the blind.I think I educated them last Sat,as they weren't having any part of the decoys today.They hung up about 50yds and wouldn't come any closer.We have a Tropical low moving in so I guess the rain will not quit,but I'm heading back out in the morning.See if the 8 point and spike and does come back that I saw last weekend and no decoy's for the turkeys this time.

i went out this morning. it was HOT. I saw one walking in but it was WAY before legal light time. Other than that we saw nothing. MY big brother nailed a coyote. It was pouring blood. it was hard to track in mud and wet grass. we finally got on the trail we found pools of blood and pices of organs it threw up something to. coyotes are one tough animal. we traked it into the woods for a long time but we didnt recover the animal. it was thick underbrush so we were probably within 20 yards of the coyote and didnt know it. if it was a deer we would of kept on looking but it was a coyote and the landowen and us dont like them. but they are one beautiful animal.
