Traipsing through the woods...

At assunpink this morning. I've seen geese aplenty, but have no dog and no boat as for furry woodland creatures, not a one.

Lol. I know. This is me back at the car. On my way home. Walked in at 7 am.

Don't believe that crap. I've shot deer (plural) with a cigarette in my hand. The only reason you shouldn't shoot a deer with a cigarette in your mouth is the smoke gets in your eyes.

 

Probably masks the human scent better than all the fancy stuff.

 

Oh and cigars, Cousin Stevie used to light a cigar because that was his deer hunting "lucky charm".

Keep at it Jim... One day everything will come together

 

Public land is tough, when you get a shot --take it -- that shot won't stick around

 

I to have shot deer with a smoke in my hand -- Many years ago -- been long quit since then but certainly saw deer thru the smoke cloud

Well deer season in zone 15 is closed until jan 5th. I was looking for tree rats and stomping briars for bunnies. Mainly I just heard them laughing at me.

 

I encountered no one else hunting. Just cars on the road. Slowly I'm figuring out where I need to be and how to move. Steep learning curve because I never hunted growing up.

Today was a good day to get out for game. Usually, game will be out feeding before a storm front moves in. Even stocked pheasants will feed prior to a storm. Yesterday was probably the better day for rabbits or squirrel. Today would have been a good day for pheasant.

When I was driving out a rooster crossed in front of the car. I slowed down and he walked across. She he got the the other side I saw another rooster, then another and a hen on the woodland side of the street walking away from the briar field. I don't have a pheasant stamp and I wasn't sure if I had to be 150 ft from the road anyway. Otherwise I'd have tried to spook them up.

They're referred to as cock birds, and the only 'distance from the street' requirement is off the shoulder.

[Parker 213]

Go get your stamp and take some birds! They stock tomorrow and Saturday and then that's it for the end of the year.
