Our season opened a week and a half ago, with my management unit insisting on antlered deer only the first five days. I didn't buy a doe tag anyway so no problem there, except the buck must have a minimum of three points on at least one antler. I passed up a legal one opening day and am beginning to regret not wanting my season to end so quickly. He used to be an eight-point but had one antler broken off to about three inches high; I'd take him now. On Tuesday ITJ has had a squirrel jump across his leg...
shot at a six-point and don't know how I missed. Wednesday I saw a four-point and let him pass. Other than them I've counted over fifty deer. It's pouring rain right now and I am completely soaked to the skin. The chimney needs cleaning so we let the fire go out this morning and it is cold in here. Not as cold as sitting in the woods when the temperature is twenty-two but cold. :)
Bev, I'd love to compare journal notes. A gray squirrel almost ran up
my leg this morning. A grouse in full ruff strutted across my path the other day. I almost dropped my rifle and chased a small flock of turkey poults they were so close. :)
