Deer hunting update.
cowboy:
Way to go Case! Lot's of meat on that one by the looks of her...
Pat B:
Well, my season is probably over for 2007 without a kill. :'( I only saw one deer this weekend and it was Sunday morning. I was in a ladder stand on the edge of one of our food plots and had "Flossy" the decoy out. A nub buck came out with the sun and when he saw Flossy he bowed up. ;D He would put his head down to eat a little but raise it quickly, always looking at Flossy. He moved along the edge of the food plot , eating as he went but he kept looking at her. When he got to where he was looking end on at the decoy she disappeared to him and he relaxed and eat comfortably until he walked out of site. It was very interesting and humorous to see his reactions to Flossy the 2d decoy.
Another unsuccessful season for me. :( I only saw 2 deer while on stand this year. Opening weekend I had a doe fawn walk out and present me with 5 or 6 shot opportunities but she was too small and quite scrawny. For my last sit I was entertained by the button buck yesterday. I invited a friend to hunt with us this past weekend and he took a nice 90# doe. Eric gave me a backstrap so I have some meat.
THAT'S HUNTIN'!!! Pat

You are right Pat that is why they call it hunting not killing.We still have about a month
left in our season but it really gets tough this time of year,no cover and the deer have been hunted hard all around my place,but I still have high hopes of maybe one more shot.We are
going to L.B.L.the week after Christmas where I meet Gary Davis and several guys from N.Y.
to hunt and camp for a week.It is tough hunting but the fellowship is great and that is
what matters to me most of all. :) Pat you should try and make it down to Tn. next year before they get all stirred up and hunt with us for a few days.I would love to have you. :)Good luck
to all.Shoot straight. :)

Pappy:

or nothing.May I can get into them once more this year.The 2nd. rut should be kicking in about
now so I have high hopes.Good luck to all.Let you know Monday how it turns out. :)
