Since Brent cancelled on me Saturday, I decided to hunt my backyard feeder with the bow rather than go face the throngs of FA hunters at Raudy on my own. I saw nothing. By 10am was busy improving my blind. I took the leaf blower and made a clear path to the blind to sneak into it in a position the deer at the feeder cannot see my approach. I also took a hex of old desert camo netting and made a roof on it for some interior shadow. I added brush and branches and improved it quite a bit.

I took off on Monday, my 38th Birthday, in order get some time in and do some rifle hunting without the crowds. As I was getting set up to walk in, a truck pulled up with another hunter. So much for that plan. I took my climber and set up in Brent’s tree at the hilltop. It was cloudy and breezy but saw nothing. I was using the old 8mm Mauser with iron sights. I went home and ate some lunch and then returned. The other hunter was still there…somewhere… I decided to stay on the ground this time and I found a couple well used deer trails and bedding areas. Spotted no deer however and hunted until dark. The temps were crazy and I spotted insects and bats flying around at dusk! This morning I also found a tick embedded in my leg. This is December folks! Crazy!!!
I can really see an impact in deer movement now that the gun season is in.
