So I sat in the woods from sun up to sun down on saturday, and saw 2 does the entire time. Other than that I saw 3 random little children walk through the woods, a dirt bike, a tractor with a trailer full of people, and one gorgeous buck standing in the middle of the road when I pulled out of the parking lot. So this morning we had an in service day at the school I am student teaching at. I am a phys ed major and we usually lift and run before school on in service days, so I was there at 6 a.m. I left for my run at 7 and picked a nice little 3.5 mile trail that goes around the schools campus. As I crest a hill I spook a doe from here to tomorrow. I stopped to watch her run off and as I turned to my left I see a GIGANTIC 10 pt crest the hill, nose on the ground grunting every step. The buck walked 10 feet from me and never stopped. I was wearing bright colors standing in the wide open and I had to smell like something terrible after all I had ran. I could have smacked it with a stick! So as I'm excited to see this buck chasing I hurry home after school to get to one of my favorite rut spots and what do I see? A turkey! Brutal last few days.
Tough luck, dude....
