| Fifth trip, 2 stand sessions, Monday evening and Tuesday morning. It was windy Monday, no moon that night, cool with a breeze Tuesday, over all good conditions. |
| Tuesday morning: Sightings: 10 Deer, 2 packs of hen Turkey fly down after the feeder goes off at dawn. About 8:30 3 doe show up in sandera along with pack of hen. Deer wander off and then 5 other doe show up in sandera with hen still there. Deer feed for 30 minutes or so. Out of the stand at 9:00. |
| After filling up the feeder and while driving out on the fence line, a piggy steps out in the road and walks in the brush. I drive by his crossing and as I pass, I spot him behind me in the brush, about 30yd away. Grab the 44mag and took a crack at him. He was too far behind me to sight down the barrel at that angle while sitting, of course no much of a chance that way. It was exciting and made up for some of the rather dull stand hunts. |
