My blacktail hunting day
Well went out blacktail hunting today. In region 2. It was a nice some what cool day. Heard a squirrel chirping. So I stepped in the bush and had a plan of where I wanted to go. As I entered the forest the squirrel was still chirping. Ah to be in the forest in region 2 I just love the smells and the scenery. And the mushrooms and ferns and moss.
Well anyways as I entered the squirrel was chirping. Then just over the other side of a small hill I could hear something walking on the branches. Now this is what I didnt really know what to do. I could wait or guickly get to the top of the little hill and look over but I was thinking it may be a cougar or a bear or a deer. So I was like dang i wish i had my deer bleat it may be a bit early but who knows. So I waited a few minutes. Then I slowly went over the hill and I saw a little older deer track. And no animal. It was thicker then what I expected.
So I did something today I never do I took like over an hour to walk like 300 yards. Over little hills and cross some small streams. Look at the mushrooms I totally wanted to take pictures of but thought no I am here for hunting not taking pictures.
My plan was to go real slow try to be quiet but gosh dang those twigs on the ground are hard not to step on. Then I was going to go up a hill and do a small loop and come around again. But I dont know I just kept getting this feeling not to do that. I just dont know what it was. So I took my binos out and was looking around and getting that feeling not to go up the hill. So I turned around and looked on the ground and my eye piece was on the ground.
So it got me thinking is that why I was getting a feeling to not go up the hill or else when I got home I would be mad I lost my bino eye piece. So silly.
Then I was going to go another way which I have gone before and i was getting that feeling again to not go that way. So strange.
Then I came out of the bush and went to another little area and looked around for a hour. A nice little area lots of moss on the ground to be quiet.
So that was my blacktail hunting story for today.
I would like to know what some of you guys and gals would of done when you heard the branches breaking?
And have any of you ever had that feeling of not to go to a certain area for a walk.
My day was just awesome anyways it was nice to just go nice and slow and at my pace. And enjoy the scenery.
Sorry if some of you thought I may of shot something.
Nothing is like climbing a mountain, and then feeling like you are at the top of the world.
