I went out tonight for my first deer bow hunt of the season.... No game shot at but it was a good night out regardless.... As I pull into the back of the farm I see a doe and two fawns in the bean field. i think good, deer are moving after all this rain, just as I hoped.....
So I get changed, grab my bow, make my way into the bush. I setup and begin my slow walk (still hunting) through the bush. I go about 60 yds or so before I hear my first deer of the season snort at me... I had the wind in my favour but it must have seen me, lots of leaves still in the bush.
I keep still hunting but decide to climb a hill to check out another been field way in the back of the property. I make my way to the back of this bean field, look down into the swampy section of the field and low and behold two nice bucks, fighting, playing with each other. Now looking through the trees I can tell they are pretty good bucks just can't tell how big they are but they have some good antlers. I try and sneak up on them only to get about 80yds from them before the wind changes direction... deer don't run off but walk back into the bush. I wait around a while but with a bad wind and loosing light fast I make my way back to the truck by the end of legal light.....
So all in all I seen 5 deer and got busted (snorted) by one... A very good 45 minute hunt....:)
Anyone else care to share?
Best of luck to all this season and be safe.
