| It is Sunday afternoon. Wind blowing over 10-15mph. A few wasp still flying in and out of the stand. It's pretty warm and my shirt is history. Small 6 point walks out between my stand and the feeder. He walks toward the feeder and just before he gets there, a flock of turke beat him to it. He just stoped for a moment and then joined them. Turkeys cleaned up the corn in minutes and everyone wanders off. Feeder goes off again and withing 15 minutes a doe and yearling show up. They looked nervous and left after a few minutes. Three bucks show up at the feeder and there was an 8 point that was out side the ears. The horns were small in diameter though. One buck had some bush stuck on it's horns and it was almost dragging the ground. He looked ridiculous, but he did'nt think so. The pack of turkeys that left the feeder had made their way around to the back side of my stand and went single file down the sandera, eating the trail of corn I layed on my way to the stand. It's now getting to dark to shoot. Not sure if the bucks are still at the feeder when I got out of the stand. I was thinking with this much activity, even with the wind, the next morning would be a good time to make a kill. I was not in the mood to dress out a deer in the dark, plus I would have to go back to town for ice to cool it down. OK, I'm lazy. Did not see any thing all morning. Heard 2 shots real close by. I should have taken that 8 point last night. I took pictures of all of this and my last hunt, but I have yet to get my camera back in working order after the big reset. Too blury to make anything out. I got to get this fixed. |
