Rats, foiled again. So walkin barefoot on freezing ground I made my way slowly towards a trail crossing only to have them see me and run again. I was crouched and moving slow with wind in my favor. I finally nested in tall grass and never saw them again. Ill try again tomorrow.

Nope, I rather make my own. I've seen some old deer masks in a couple books before, not just Apache but other tribes. I now know exactly how and what it was used for. Pretty awesome trick.

Didnt even see a deer today. But I think I figured out how to sound like a quadruped. Take the same step with each foot twice. I was able to get literally 3 feet from field mice wolking slow, barefoot, double stepping like that. Boy is it slow going but thats the point. Sneak up on a mouse and I think thats good.

Hay RABITAPACHE one of my golds in life is to kill a cou's buck. With a selfbow ofcource Well I'm 53 and diabetic have AR so my times coming closer a lot faster than I' want.
Your ruts my off season so Lets trade a hunt. Can't promass you a thing HUNTINGS HUNTING. But you'll see bucks in the 120's,130's We see a 140' er every now and them. I Have 3 farms and a couple smaller places. I HAVE CONTROL OF half manged one for 11 years. LOTS OF BEANS CORN ALFA ALL AROUND THESE FARMS OR PLACES. WE CAN HUNT BUT IT'S POPULATERED. But the bucks are here.
My youngest son BRIER 14 teen the second evening of our rifle season. Missed a 5 1/2 20 wide 8 point at least 250 pounds. Had half of the right side broken off. He was 100 yards I had him in the bio's at the shot. Making a scrape. Brier shot the buck just looked around. I haven't shot a buck with a rifle since 05. Here we have a 71/2 big 6 point I saw him 4 or 5 times through the years he's 300#'s easy.
But if I'd been the shooter he'd been dead.
And if you gobbler hunt I'm your man. I learned from grandaddy He hunted 88 springs in a row. He shot gunned 312 gobblers. Ad did start counting to into the 30's. Up untill then him and his twin brother justr shot them for food. I've killed 39 with a shotgun and 15 selfbow kills. I'll call you one up or if you chose you do the calling. WE'LL SEE 15 TO 20 GOBBLERS OUT IN THE FIELDS struting. My best morning I saw 29 gobblers that morning and arrowed a 2 year with a TEXAS CHERT point.
4 Times I had jakes wip up on and jake decoy. Before this 2 year old one came to show his domance.
This farm I live on has a good 100 birds on it. And I have 3 other farms I can bow only. I've arrowed gobblers at all these places. Well be along on them all. So Maybe we can work something out that way.
I'm perty poor so I'd just camp some where. May bring my son Brier He's missed 3 deer with his self bow. But a 14 he likes to rifle hunt. We all likely took that trail. Maybe a week or so. I'd deside after I got there.
