It wasn’t cold this morning according to the thermometer, but the wind made it quite brisk. The wind swirled all over the place and made the morning interesting. I sat until 10:15. At that time I got up and did some walking to see what I could find. I found an area where the deer have been feeding heavily. I put a camera in there to see what I might get. I’ll check it next week sometime. I didn’t see any deer today. I walked by the same scrape that I’ve kicked leaves in the last few days and once again it was clear and open. I would like to see the buck that’s opening it. Steve, Doug and Jason saw a couple of deer this morning, but couldn’t grow any horns on them. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
I’m headed to Ohio at 4am for opening day of their shotgun season on Monday. I have no idea what to expect, but it will be a good way to end my vacation days for the year. I’m not looking forward to the ride out or back, but that’s all part of it. For some reason I have a feeling I’m not going to see a deer and I’m going to see a lot of people. Only time will tell.
I’ll check in when I return. Good luck out there and hunt hard. Here’s a buck I killed on opening day of shotgun in Ohio back in 2002 I think it was.
