    Almost Like A ZOO

    This afternoon/evenings hunt was almost like being at like a zoo.

    Still hunting on the ground with the ghillie suit, and boy was I entertained today.

    Saw 22 deer with 12 doe & 3 bucks close enough to shoot. Actually those 15 walked by me within 10 yards. No shooter bucks.

    Saw between 130 - 150 turkey, but they were across the field from me.

    I don't know how many pigs I saw (a lot), but none close enough to shoot. Deer came up & down the trail I sat on all afternoon, but the pigs were using other trails.

    Saw one coyote about 100 yards out chasing mice in the field for about an hour.

    The wind will be right for that area again tomorrow, but I think I'll pick a different trail.

      You got that right. I love watching the animals, and when you get some up close & personal to watch it's even better.

      I got an eyeball on a real nice tusker boar.
      Hopefully he'll be using the same trail tomorrow.
      If he does, I'm gonna throw him a trick.

              Me too.
              Of course I was at home so . . .
              It's amazing how much game is in our area Rick. Surprisingly we bought a place that's decent hunting.

                What a difference a day makes.

                Not counting the dozen or so pigs I walked right up in the middle of trying to traverse the briars to get to the spot I wanted - I only saw 20 come out into the field, and they didn't stay long. I figure busting them up like I did in the briar patch had something to do with not seeing many, and none close.

                Saw 9 doe, with 2 close enough to shoot. No turkey, and no coyotes today.

                Going again Thursday.

                    Hey Rick, do you do anything to help prevent them from smelling you besides playing the wind? Thanks

                      Yes, I use the "Dead Down Wind" products (All of them. Body wash, clothes wash, deodorant, and field spray). It seems to work quite well, but nothing will eliminate all your smell.
