Dragging my sweaty butt back to the car that is.
I did have an eventful day though. Started out nice this morning, and then just heated up by mid-day.

I went out at a place I have not hunted in a couple years. This place usually holds a lot of deer since there is some really thick cover over a large section. I started by trying to get up on some high ground, and then I would work my way down hunting spot and stalk.


Wow, this place really grew in. I had a tough time working my way through. I came upon a little open spot where 3 trails made a junction. There was a pretty fresh scrape being started. I was surprised at the sign, and though, I must be moving deer ahead. Just after a short rest and a pic of the scrape, I heard some movement. Sure enough, a deer was standing right on the other side of a wall of grape vines about 15 yards away. Nothing I could do through all those vines. The deer turned and sauntered off through the brush.




I eventually worked my way down to a field that is full of grass and clover. So many trails led to this spot. There were plenty of deer droppings around too. I found a nice blow down on the edge of the field that would make a great hide for an evening hunt. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be this evening.

Worked my way down through the hard woods back to the car, and I sure was hot! 73 degrees.

Hot, lol.  Those were the days.  93 degrees here today.  Glad you got out to do some hunting.

Looks to have been a nice walk in the woods.Have to chuckle about your 73 degree heat.I spent some time in your area,working back in the late 80s.

Your hunting woods looks very deerish,wish you luck!

Beautiful pics Jerry!

Some really great pics Jerry! Hopefully next time out it will be a more eventful day. Good luck out there.
