Title: Windy today
Post by: pdk25 on October 07, 2009, 09:09:00 PM
The wind was whipping pretty good today, so I thought I would do a little spot and stalk.  Jumped a couple of deer in some thick stuff with no shooting opportunities.  I snuck into a hollow and found 5 deer bedded down from 35-60 yards from me, with no cover to get closer than I was.  I decided to wait behind an old rotten blowdown for them to make a move, hoping they would give me a shot as they made their way into the field.  Unfortunately, 2 doe came up on the other side of the hollow and 4 of the doe from below joined them and fed away from me.  I decided to wait for the last one to move, still hoping.  After an hour I decided to finally put the stalk on, since there was only one set of eyes.  10 minutes and 10 yards later the deer, a medium sized buck, decided it was time to go.  Once again, it fed directly away from me and I couldn't catch up.  All in all, a fun afternoon.  No shooting at deer, but I did take this bunny with an arrow that I found today.  The rut is just around the corner, boys.  Can't wait.

Great hunt! Looks like you bagged a good arrow along with that bunny. I hope I have some luck like that this weekend.

I spent to enough time getting blown from lane to lane on I-80 between Cheyenne and Rock Springs to know you are being sarcastic.  ;)

Windy here today. It is a good thing there are not more rabbits around here.  I am after a 180 buck and if I had a lot rabbits to hunt, I would never get around to deer hunting.

Tell you what.  I'll come over and look for the 180 and you can come here and hunt bunnies.  :bigsmyl:
