Gone Hunting

[Flower]

Youth deer season is this weekend.
At the moment, I am setting in this blind with my wife’s 14 year old cousin. We have my trusty ole’ .44 lever action at the ready.
My son sent me a picture of a couple doe by the blind yesterday evening. We are pretty confident we will get some action in the next couple hours.

I ain’t never. Deer hunting for me was dressing as warm as possible and sitting in a freezing position braving the possible wind for hours.

That thing probably comes with a hot plate and refrigerator

I wish, kind of hot and stuffy in here at the moment. Not too bad when the breeze blows through the windows, but when that wind lays, it warms up in here pretty fast.

everyone needs a freezer full of venison and summer sausage!

Looks like a flock of turkeys has decided to provide us with a little entertainment while we wait on a deer.

 

[user 60570]

that’s a good sign

 

[Flower]

They are getting a little braver.

Funny ,I once saw Dale Earnheart jr hunting with a guide and in three days he got a deer ,a hog and a turkey.
As I remember I remember all three were grazing with a strong intent.
Sure they used sweet feed and baited them

Probably a Texas hunt, they are pretty liberal with the bait down there.

i remember doing a job upstate and we stayed there for 5 days and went home.
6 does would come on time around 5
I put out sweet feed and the dominate doe would chase the others ( the *****! I feed deer like i do people abundantly)
So the next day I put out 6 piles and separated them far from each other .

I grew up with livestock, so we always had fresh meat. Other than rabbits, which dad hunted and I cleaned when I was in 1st and 2nd grade, I never knew anything about hunting. Never had to. I have no problem with hunting, but the $25.00 two inch thick *New York Strip Steak I'm throwin' on the grill tomorrow is ultimately cheaper, and a lot less effort.
Still...I like my time in the woods. Just not when there's folks out there shooting at shadows.

Not the best pictures, but just had a pair of bobcats come through.

I thought bobcats were solitary? Mating, maybe?

Female and a kitten.
