My alarm is set for 5. It’s roughly 1215 and I don’t have a prayer of going to sleep. Mason and I are heading to the park in the morning with plans to hunt all day. We are going to sit in the morning and then hang a stand down the ridge for the evening sit. We will be closer to where we have been getting pics of some really good bucks. Studying OnX has yielded theories as to why they are there and where we may be more likely to get a better look at them. Townzen has been close to them a couple times but the opportunity has not presented itself.
I plan to hunt as much as possible on the draw hunt but obligations will keep me from making the trip every day. Mason has a great set up on our property. I gave suggestions, he has done all the work. We have a blind set up. We have resorted to feeding corn to put them where we want them. And we have a pile of deer coming in daylight. One buck showed up during gun season. He’s not a giant, but he is absolutely gorgeous. A young 8 point. He is really regular to the bait along with his buddies. If I still have a buck tag come Thursday, Mason and I will be going after him before work. Despite his young age, if I can kill him with my bow with my boy video taping in the blind with me, I’ll be absolutely thrilled. I’m to the point I just want to do things right, clean kill, and it matters most to have my boy or a friend along to enjoy it. This deer, on our property, would certainly fill that list of criteria.
Here is a pic of a pic... I am that lazy these days.
