| Sixth trip, 2 stand sessions, Monday evening and Tuesday morning. It was windy Monday, half moon, clear and hard freeze that night. Tuesday morning would have been perfect if it was not for the bright moon the night before. |
| Tuesday morning: Sightings: 15 Doe, that silly cull, 6 coyote, fox or bobcat on way to the stand. Some small critter was just a flash on my way to the stand in moon light. Probably a red fox, being long and low. Turkey fly down after the feeder goes off at dawn. 8 doe are spotted way behind feeder by large creek. This is rare, probably because of the small opening to see through to this area. They were moving briskly, and not looking toward the feeder. A coyote is spotted close, out right window, toward small creek. A few seconds later, 6 leisurely cross sandera, REAL close to the stand. This is one of my best observations of my "brothers." They are really beautiful, with a combination of red and gray hues. 2 doe show up close to stand in sandera while I was "trying" to rattle up some horns. Their stay was short. 5 doe appear mid-sandera and are joined by the infamous cull. 4 of the doe take off and cull does not appear to be interested in the remaining doe. After she departs, cull hangs out a while longer. 9:00 and a wrap............................................... |
| See if you can see the horns???????? |
