Deer hunting update.
lowell:
Finally cooling off here. Went out this afternoon late and saw 1 deer and 1 turkey, but nothing close enough.
Just a nice hunt without bugs and heat!! 8)

There's a nice coolness to the air this morning. Wish I was in a stand right now and not at work! Might have to take a vacation day Friday and start the weekend off early.
Keith is off this week...he's a teacher and is off for falll break. He missed a doe yesterday afternoon...he said it was a perfect shot opportunity, he just wasn't focused. He ruffled some hair on the top of her back. I'm sure he's hunting this morning as well. :)

I hunt with heavey arras so that even in the rain I have two holes to bleed from. Lots of people want speed, I want two holes, pass through. Want that exit hole to help with tracking. In rain I will start trailing right away so that I have something to see. Rain will make you quieter, more silent, just move slow and keep looking for that animal while looking for the blood. Have had to track in a snow storm befor and that was also tough. Would see a dimple in the snow and dig down to see if it was blood. Most times it was as I was also following the tracks. But there were an awful lot of track from other deer. Found it after about 4 hours. I have also tracked a deer for 4 or 5 hours and seen it get up and run away. Sometimes our shots are not killer and the animal lives.

Ryano do you just want our most recent hunt or some interesting hunting storys? Cool thread anyway.
Ryano:
Any story if its a good one. ;D I'm Just trying to see what other hunters are experiencing around other parts of the world.
Its finally cooling off here too. A high in the 50's today but Rainy. I saw three does last night but couldn't get one close enough for a shot. Then I saw three deer this morning to but they were running circles around my stand. Two adult doe and a fawn. Seemed like the one doe was chasing the other doe with the fawn. ::)
