First time I ever saw trees that grew in sand...crazy..anyways..a word to the wise fer short people eatin at the big buck brewery..you will have to ask fer a piller to sit on such as I did

They dont bring yer gravy on yer taters either..they put in a genie lamp. Even crazier...

No, nothing yet. And I am probably done till after gun season. I had a spike chase a doe by me two weekends ago. No shot opportunity.
This past Saturday morning another buck and doe chasing each other around at 7am. Tried to get the doe to stop, everything right down to a "hey". She stopped... with only her ehad showing from around a tree.

She walks off, and I hear the buck a grunting looking for her still. He came back by me, grunting and lip curling. By this point I will freely admit to the jitters starting pretty good.

I put a shot at him at about 30 yrds, but shot just under him. Not sure how still, but I did it. He just looked around and stalked off with his head to the ground searching for his doe. Wasn't the out come I was looking for, but it felt good to get the heart pumping like that again.

For gun season, I'll be up just south of Grayling the first week. Where is everyone else gonna be?

FIJI · #28 11-07-2005, 09:03 PM

wrenchman · #29 11-07-2005, 10:24 PM

Managed to get out opening morning Bow,then had to go to work that afternoon.Got home Sunday afternoon and headed back out,took a shot at a nice doe and she jumped the string and crouched almost to her belly,the arrow sailed right over her back and hit a young doe that was standing behind her.She went about 100 yards and crumbled. I was sick with the fact that she was just a young un.Got back to the house that evening and me and the wife decided to seperate(more me than her)and since then have done no hunting at all.Went out today and decided to set up a ground blind for gun season,gonna try it again with the 44 ruger redhawk.After the seperation I lost all interest in hunting this year but since moving up to Houghton Lake I have settled down a bit and at the urging of my mom I'm gonna give it a try. Best of luck to everyone this season.
