I can’t stay out of the woods this week. Traditionally, the dates this week have corresponded with my best memories in the Adirondacks. I killed one of my biggest bucks on November 14 many years ago. I can still remember it like it was yesterday.
I rearranged my work schedule, so I could get in the woods after work. I’m going to try to hunt for a few hours every day this week. I have too much history to stay inside and not make every attempt to get the job done.
I went down the back of a mountain this evening to check on a spot that usually has a lot of sign during the rut. I was happy to see that the deer have been using the funnel regularly. Depending on how much sign I see tomorrow, I will probably be back to sit in the area.
I could hear deer walking on the ridge above me and on the shelf below me. Unfortunately, I never got a look at any of them. I’m fairly certain that the deer on the ridge above of me was a buck, but I’ll never know for sure. I’ll be back at it tomorrow to see what happens. I was disappointed to see that I only had one buck on my camera, and it was a 4-pointer. The good thing is that it was only a few days ago.
