Sunday's Hunt

I had a great day out in the wilds of Sussex County NJ deer hunting with a couple great friends and fellow Trad Gang members, Bentpole, Tom and Bamboo, Mike. Thanks Mike for showing us that hidden gem. I doubt very much that I'll ever be able to find that place again! LOL Thanks Tom for picking me up and driving us up there to hunt.

We saw 7 deer and 1 bear. I was wishing I had brought my judos cause there were so many squirrels. Would have been good to add 1 or 2 to the crock pot.

Wish I could have been there, just too many obligations to take care. Sounds like you guys had a good time. We saw a sow with 2 cubs the evening before in that spot. The cubs climbed a tree and went to the top, maybe 40 feet. Never seen them climb so high before.

Lol, everytime V and I heard a bear moving through the woods, we were expecting Mike to come stepping out of the brush.

Jerry thats funny! Every time I see one I wonder if I'll have any problems when I let the bear know I'm there. Most run away and rarely some won't. I've dealt with a couple who won't leave and thats no fun. Thankfully the bears and I have gotten away without any new holes in our hides.
