Ok, a short rundown on my season. First, two days before it started the outfitter who leased the place next door stuck a 1500 sf blind right in the middle of things. I hate having to adapt.
Then on opening morning about 1/2 hour after sunrise, they decided to march some poor feller down the fenceline to said blind. He opened all the windows so he was perfectly silhouetted inside like a fish bowl.
So yesterday I decided to go old school and see if I can still sneak around. Turns out I’m good at moving slow. I had all my neighborhood bucks standing around in the trees at 30 yards for 10 or 15 minutes. With the hammer cocked and the bead on this deer, I kept reminding myself that the freezers are full.
Anyway, since it looks like tag soup for me this year I decided to head out with the camera. Gun along of course because there is one keeper running around still.
Anyway, it was a fun morning right up until disaster struck. While I was taking pictures, the seat on my wore out old lawn chair ripped. Fat man down! The deer thought it was real funny. I thought I was going to have to call 911, but I couldn’t reach my phone. Finally I did one of those horror movie moves where the person tied to the chair pitches themselves over. Which attracts more deer to see just what the heck is going on.
So how was your morning.
I’ll stick up some pics in a few minutes when I get the camera downloaded.
