THE HUNT........


Things have been slow so far but having a good time nonetheless. No moose seen yet. Seeing some does. No ruffies so far which is a bit of a surprise considering we saw quite a few earlier. Wind has been a bit crappy for our main set up.

Landowner decided to cut and bale everything on all fields the day before the opener and is pretty much done now. May have disturbed the game some but shouldn't have any effect going forward.

Animals don't seem to be moving much and what activity there is, seems to be random.
Based on what we have seen and know about the area, we've moved 5 cams to spots trying to establish some patterns right now.


Mid day on the 1st, my son jumped a great buck at about 20 yards or so. The buck grunted and ran, stopping at 55 yards to have a look back at what startled him. He was standing at full alert broadside for about a minute, before he put his head down, flicked his tail, and slowing walked away to find another spot to lay down. Son decided that attempting a 55 yard shot through the trees at an alert buck just didn't sit right with him. He backed out and let him go for another day.
Just managing to stalk that close to a whitetail of that quality was an experience he'll never forget. He did real good.

So, we've been taking a break for a couple days to let things settle and see if the cams pick up some intel.

The hunt continues, stay tuned.......
