I had some time to hit the woods this afternoon/early evening. I had been putting off going back out since the fiasco on Monday. I got to the woods at 3:30 and nobody was there but little ol me or so I thought. I parked and walked the 1/2 mile back to the woods and I see an orange vest standing down in the woods. I didn't feel like going down and screwing with the guy even though he was in the section I planed on sitting and knowing he probably didn't have permission to be there. I went ahead and went to the north block to sit in my climber. I get to my climber and see it has been spun around the tree facing a different direction then it was last I had used it. Oh boy here we go again. Luckily there was some snow on the ground so I simply follow the footprints. I soon see 2 more orange vest and decide I would ask them about my climber. The guy had enough balls to stand there and tell me he had only leaned on it lol. After bitching at them for messing with my stand I walked back over and pulled it and while I was doing that they climbed down out of the ladder stand that wasn't theres and walked off.
Now I'm on a mission lol. I lug the old climber back out of the woods and decide I'm going to go fuck with their buddy that is trespassing. I walk into the woods not being quite in the least because by this point I was pissed lol. I walk over to him and make sure he didn't have written permission and proceed to tell him he is over the line by about 150 yards and made sure he knew right where the line was lol. Come to find out these 3 are all hunting together and are from Marion. The guy said they use to hunt in Morrow county next door to where the deputy got shot here a month or so ago. He decided to head up to the north block and collect his 2 buddies and leave.
I decided screw it I'm sitting where I was originally going to sit. Needless to say I didn't see a damn thing since those guys had walked all over the place. I decided at 4:30 I was going to start moving back toward where I had laid my climber and the edge of the cut cornfield. I get almost to edge of the field and seen a doe standing out there feeding. I made up my mind she was going to die today lol. I crouched down and started my stalk trying to get the backstop I needed for the shot because I didn't know how far my slug would go after hitting her. The owners house and a couple others was only 1/2 mile past her and dead in-line with where she was standing. Thinking to myself, That's all I need is to shoot her and have my slug go ripping into one of those houses after skipping down the field
. I found a tree I was going to put my gun on for a rest and when I was about 10' the neighbor let off 3 shots and put her on high alert. I continued to sneak up about 8-9' to that tree and I stepped on a frozen leaf. She was about 25 yards into the field and I swear she only took 3 jumps and was now into the neighbors winter wheat field that I didn't have permission for . Damn, just another foot or 2 and she would have been in the freezer. Oh well. That's hunting I guess lol.
I'll be back at it in the morning after dropping the boy off at school.
