Brock/Mason 2021/22

I like how he's decked out in sitka and you have a Sunday jacket on

The irony of this post..... Krista asked me if it was cold this morning. When I replied “chilly”, she handed me a box with a fanatic jacket and stratus britches. She ain’t all bad.

Camouflage is over rated. . Lord know I have enough of it but I worry more about wearing something I can comfortably draw my bow without feeling restricted. Having said that, I wore his Sitka Fanatic jacket the other day for the first time. Shot a deer too. I will admit, that thing is awesome. Both fit and function.

I wore Mason s cost last week. It’s good stuff. I hate to admit it.

Townzen and I are set up. I had him move two stands this afternoon. Mason and I observed this place last night from up the hill. We are where we need to be. I hope the deer move with these warm temps! We did get cell pics after setting the stands. That cam is 150 yards from us so I think we were sneaky enough.

All I can read in this thread is "fun".

It’s been purdy quiet! Hoping a mess was made tonight!

 

[brock ratcliff]

No mess was made. Very close though. Saw a good one. No shots fired. I did check a cam I had on the trail where I got really close on the first night. He’s not a ten as I thought. I didn’t see the G2s, but I’m 100% this is him. I described the configuration of the rack perfectly to Mason aside from the obvious oversight.

Anyone want to shed hunt?

 

[Trueroots]

Holy smokes!!! Dandy for sure. I hope you get a crack at him. Good luck

 

[brock ratcliff]

I have no delusions. My only opportunity to go back is Thursday evening. Pretty sure I can chalk him up as the one that got away. Doesn’t matter. It was a great time.

7x6 and a half rack mule deer looking rack? Noice!

 

[finelyshedded]

Good luck Brock! Looks like you’re set to have an enjoyable and exciting season ahead of you.

Good luck Brock and mason ! I use to shed hunt over that way. Started running into a bunch of other guys so I stopped. Use to be a deer mecca, I figured it went down hill since they opened it to hunting. Appears there is still a good number there though.

 

[brock ratcliff]

I’m fairly certain this is the buck that came in behind us last night. He’s awful pretty. He is welcome to ride home with me tomorrow if I’m able to go!

The weather along with the fact I’m about out of time on this hunt dictates I make the trip in the morning. I’m as excited as I get right now. Gonna be cold with a perfect wind for the stand I’m heading to. I’m almost tempted to take a wheeled bow to extend my range for this last hunt, but I’m not gonna do it. If it’s meant to be, I’ll get the shot I need, or I won’t and I’ll come home happy to have had the chance to hunt. Townzen doesn’t think he will be able to hunt again before we run out of time ( Saturday), so I may try to pull out gear on the way out to save us another trip. Hate to close up shop, but our time allotment ends Saturday. Bummer!
