As I mentioned earlier, patience, patience patience...when I first started bow hunting I came upon
2 big bucks feeding on a knoll in the center of a select logging slash. They didn't seem to know I
was close by so I watched and waited until they had made their way over the top to the other side.
I then mentally flipped a coin as to which side they would head for and then hurried over to that
base side. I waited for what seemed to be a long time but they didn't appear so I began slowly
heading toward the backside middle of the knob. Yup, right away I spooked the first what turned
out to be a dandy 4 point that had been heading right toward me had I waited. Figuring the gig was
up, I walked out into the open to make my way back and spooked the other one as well. Had I been
more patient I would have had both of them walk right into my lap so to speak.
We hiked up into 27spot this am...
We just got in before daylight.
Wind was right. Although we were a bit late I still felt good.
I left him and went another 200 meters to my watch.
The plan was to sit and glass till 8:30.
Nothing
Nada
Zilch
Lol.
It was a great morning. But the animal movement seemd nonexistent .
We put a few km on our feet with the same result.
Were heading back at 3:30 nap time!!!!!!
Because in a sense, it's the coming back, the return which gives meaning to the going forth. We really don't know where we've been until we've come back to where we were. Only, where we were may not be as it was because of who we've become. Which is, after all, why we left.

This afternoon was much the same as the morning, very quiet.
I headed to the top south end of the block my buddy bottom north.
I tried a bit of rattling. I have never had any luck with rattling but try it a few times a season.
I see deer in this block often. The last time I was here I had seen a spike in the fog.
So as the afternoon rolled on I was wondering why they seemed to be gone.
It has gotten colder....
The vegetation in the block is dying...
Maybe they have gone nocturnal...
Its funny what goes threw your head as your sitting in the Bush.
As I'm walking out I text my buddy to just hike to the road and I'll pick you up.
I'm just about to where my buddy is waiting.....
I can see him in the headlights and .....
A big bodied deer goes racing across the road between us.
Well at least there still here I think to myself....
Hopefully I'll see that deer in the morning..
I spent most of yesterday morning exploring the private wood lot.
My tree stand was still there which was nice. Its approximately 1000 acres.
I have been set up on the south east corner of the property. The south west corner seems to have a little bit better sign.
So the trail cams have been moved..
The only thing that died yesterday was a Turkey and various bottles of wine ,beer and whiskey!
My alarm went off at 5am this morning and I promptly shut it off....
Lol..
Happy Thanksgiving
