It’s hot, but I’m hoping that plays to my advantage by sitting on the ground next to some water. I’ve had deer come get a drink while duck hunting so we’ll see what happens.

I just jumped a nice buck and coyote laying 10 yards from the pond waters edge behind my house while checking the water level just now.
The plan almost came together but I had one deer… a friggin’ spike, come downwind on me. He hit my scent and started getting anxious. He never blew or busted the field but it was enough to disrupt the other deer coming in. Then 3 does came in at last light but stayed out of range. They drank and went on their way.

All the fun and none of the mess.
 
The boy doesn’t have school Friday so he asked me take him to Camp. Weather looks improved for hunting so we plan to go Thursday afternoon. Shortly I’ll be spending the next 3 hours at home on the mower to create room in my forthcoming hunting schedule. In the back of my mind I was going to stay home this weekend since I already have 2 in the freezer. I don’t want to complete my season so soon. If I’m buck successful there’s always Fall steelhead season as I never allocate time for it. 🦌 🎣
