I'd Be Starving If I Had To Shoot All My Food

1995 deer hunting

This last weekend I spent with my dad bird hunting in the woods and setting up my spot for deer hunting in a few weeks. I did finally manage to knock down a duck after we spent Friday morning at a pond, it's actually a little embarrassing I only knocked down one since they were coming in and out of the pond like mad, but it's fun regardless. I made Jamie duck on Sunday, a little dry, but not too bad.

We are deer hunting pretty deep in the north woods, about an hour walk down an old logging trail, but it's a pretty good spot with tons of sign of deer. I've got a good spot on a ridge overlooking a swamp and some high ground, tons of scrapes and rubs in there and I guess there were two pretty big 8 pointers shot in there last year so hopefully I see something this year. I guess a pretty massive 10 pointer was seen in the area, that would be sweet.

It was pretty warm for November so today I got out for a pretty good ride. It felt good to wear shorts and jersey, haven't done that for a few weeks and probably won't again for a long time, but it was nice today. Felt decent and wish I was racing, but hunting has been keeping my mind off it and a fun change of pace for the fall.
