October Special Antlerless Season, Day 1 =

I got home from work and hurried to my blind.

Had 4 deer walk by at 6:10pm. Maybe 35 yards. One was the goofy ear adult followed by 3 smaller deer. When they got to the neighbor's apple tree they realized someone was at the camp and here they came again only running .. they took off back across the flats running directly away from me. Then another came up from the bottom and heard the other 4 running and snorting and took off after them.

I could have shot any of them as they walked by but wanted to wait til morning or tomorrow evening .. today was a BUSY BUSY day at the hardware and I felt a little to tired to field dress, drag and hang a deer this evening. I did sell another 3 adult hunting licenses today. ??

I did set up the heater in the blind in case it is cold tomorrow morning as I wait for them to return from night time feeding and head back to the "bottom"... talk around here is that the morning is going to be NASTY weather -- so it may not be a good morning for deer travel.. we shall see

Heard 4 shots from 6pm to 6:30pm , two sounded like rifles and 2 maybe muzzleloaders.. ??

Sounds like another case when you should just left your cross gun at home ? Or was it that you were trophy hunting and that is the only reason you took it in the first place ?

I explained why I did not shoot -- but you must have missed reading that part of the
post -- you were probably in a hurry to make a reply since I started the thread ??

and I'll be darned if I can find anywhere in that post where I said anything about having the crossbow... you should really start to read my posts instead of guessing at what was in them just so you can reply to them


BTW .. I had the 30/30.. she has a better range and loudier noise when it goes off...

Haha My Bad. I thought you were a toting the cross gun. So you were trophy huntin then and not meat huntin. Its ok Dr Trout, If you had such a tiring day then you should be fast asleep by now at your age.

Maybe he was just scouting, and only took the gun in case he was attacked by a border crossing, herpes infected monkey

That was wayne, silly.

He would kill one, he knows how to compensate for 10 yard shots.

Decided to stand behind my vehicle while we talked to them after the youth swept me twice with his muzzle while get ready

Don't blame ya.  Heck, I flinch when the hunting show hosts on TV do the same to the camera man.

Does that mean we have also seen he last of your sarcastic "chicken little" posts and Doc's sarcastic cartoons or is this just a one way street?
