Update on my Iowa deer season.
I have not hunted quite as hard after I tagged my buck on November 9th. With that being said I have done 25 sits since I killed my buck and 57 sits for the season so far. I have seen 36 bucks and 50 doe as of this evening and I have learned so much about Iowa deer movement, activity, and habitat.
Yesterday afternoon I was crossing the North Fabius River with a tree stand on my back, my backpack in one hand and my bow in the other hand. I got my left boot stuck in the mud and while trying to pull my stuck boot out with my left hand my right foot came out of my other boot and I fell backwards into the river.[emoji3] Fortunately I didn't get too wet and the temperature was in the 50s. I figured I didn't have to worry about hypothermia so I decided to go ahead and set the stand and hunt.
I went back down to the river to wash the mud off my hands and arms and thru the clear water I saw this cool arrowhead. Five minutes after I climbed into the stand this nice 8 point walked past and ended up passing me at about 20 yards. Pretty eventful evening hunt. Oh...and how do you like my camo?[emoji38]
This evening I was back in the stand I set yesterday. I didn't fall in the river today and I have on clean (blue) camo.[emoji1]
Today was the last day of the first segment of archery season. Archery opens again on December 23 after the two shotgun seasons. I still have a state wide buck tag, but I was hoping to fill a Davis county doe tag this evening. Everything came together at last light when 4 doe came down the ridge and by my treestand. I was fortunate to take a big Iowa doe. More awesome Iowa venison for the freezer. #camoisoverated #weareblessed #weloveiowa #mikeandtracy
