Skunked Again

 

 

 

It’s officially been another week of getting skunked from deer.  Though the does have become more and more frequent with their siting’s, I have yet to find that big wall mounter that appeared on my trail cam.   Since I haven’t been seeing any bucks in my one spot I decided to change locations where I found a new walkway for the deer.  This was not an easy task by any means.  Thick brush covered the ground I need to enter this new spot and I took a long time to clear a path with my shears.  Vines, thorns, poison ivy, whatever you can think of, I had to go through it to get back there.  While sitting up in the tree I noticed I had a few branches in my shooting lanes so those had to disappear.  So I cut them down with my pole saw and overall it seems to be a nice spot.  Hopefully it works out alright for me.  If not I can always move back to my old spot where I know deer will come after they take the corn off behind my woods.

The weather is still a little too hot for me and I don’t just have to worry about the deer not moving now since duck season opened up this weekend.  The weather sucked for that also.  I went out duck hunting earlier Saturday morning and we didn’t see a single flock.  It just simply wasn’t a good weekend for anything hunting wise.

So since it wasn’t the best hunting weather I decided to shoot a little anyway.  My friends and I gathered our bow arrows and shot for a good portion of the afternoon on Sunday.  Placing bets on who was better I walked away a loser but that was alright because it was still a goodtime tippin them back with my buds.  Overall it was a pretty relaxing way kick back and enjoy the good weather.  If we couldn’t enjoy it trying to bag a buck or shooting ducks out of the sky, we found other ways to enjoy the weather.

Luckily I think the weather is supposed to cool off this week and hopefully it stays down.  This hot weather is just getting a little ridiculous.  I’m ready for the chill autumn air and all the great things it brings with it.  One of these next few good days I am going to have to site in my muzzleloader and get that all taken care before the season sneaks up on me actually opens up.  I had just recently won this muzzleloader at one of my buddy’s bachelor party so for a ticket that was only ten bucks I would have to say I made off pretty well.
