I'll be down Sun-Mon if it works for you...

Sunday works good. Monday I could only do the evening, but I could point you in the right direction Sunday so you could go back Monday morning if you want.

He He He! Can't wait!

So I get to the spot hoping to catch one coming down the trail on either side again. It is darkening pretty fast and I see some movement in the cornfield 60 yards down the hill. As I stand there and watch a dozen deer slowly feed through the corn. I was to late tonight, but that is easy enough to fix soon.

I'm pullin' for ya'! Back on Friday-maybe you'll have one on the ground by then!

cjones · October 09, 2007, 01:41:00 AM

Keep after em Dave. I'm sure one will slip up soon enough.

More Please.

I'm totally jealous.
My favorite spot is just a memory. Until last year, I was the only bow hunter in my family, and no one else hunted turkeys. Now they all have crossbows, and if I don't camp out in the driveway the night before, there's a truck parked there when I pull up in the morning.
I really can't complain, since they were hunting this spot when I was still a gleam in Pop's eye. I know how it feels to have your own "private" honey hole. "[dntthnk]"

One arrow,,, now that's confidence! You been hanging with Mickey?

vermonster13 · October 09, 2007, 07:38:00 PM

Hunting with so little light left one shot is about all you'll get Joe.

tim roberts · October 09, 2007, 09:40:00 PM

Is your hunting season over yet? It would be nice to get the "Happily Ever After" part!

Really these remarks are a sorry attempt to keep this at the top!

Osagetree · October 10, 2007, 03:30:00 PM

Next round ASAP please!

Dave, being a fellow VTer I'm watching this thread. I'm hoping that the reason you haven't posted today is because you've got a lot of work to do cleaning and skinning and such.

Today and tomorrow are non-hunting days on the homestead. Family things to do. Be back at it on Friday.

Saw six bucks in the high pasture last night while it was raining like crazy. Didn't really hunt, went to observe. As thick as it is in there and with the rain pretty much guaranteeing a washed out blood trail with dark so close I opted to let it rest and just see what was to be seen.

hormoan · October 10, 2007, 05:47:00 PM

Wise choice!

bentpole · October 10, 2007, 05:54:00 PM

Dave I have to get up there!Big day tomorrow MRI.

vermonster13 · October 10, 2007, 06:27:00 PM

Good luck with it Tom.

bentpole · October 10, 2007, 07:37:00 PM

Thanks Dave. Post some more pics if you can.

vermonster13 · October 10, 2007, 07:39:00 PM

If it wasn't raining so hard last night I would have posted some pics of the 14 point and his friends together. And one of him with me had the weather cooperated. But I couldn't risk turning him into yote and bear food or any deer for that matter.

tim roberts · October 11, 2007, 07:34:00 PM

Well it is appearing that Dave is learning how hard it is to leave the milk sit in a cow and then try to milk out cheese!
Or maybe he got to go huntin' and is trying to remember how to finish the job?????
I am sure he will be back to let us know.
