Busted
« on: September 13, 2012, 10:33:03 AM »
Walked into a old clearcut unit this morning that is surrounded by about 20 year old reprod. I was working my way along the edge when I heard the classic busted grunt. 5 does stood up and started making their way slowly away from me into the clearcut. The wind was in my face so I decided to Chase them. I ended up taking a 50 yard shot on the biggest doe when she skylined herself on a small ridge.  She jumped the string and I was 6 inches high.  So much for fried backstraps tonite. Oh well, it was a nice change of pace from chasing Elk in the thick timber all week. Back to the Elk grind tomorrow. Been unable to seal the deal yet. 3 more days to get one on the ground.  :o

Bummer on the missed doe...oh well.  Maybe you'll get lucky on elk.
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

That would be an interesting situation. Id be too nervous someone is watching with a scope for me to pick some "berries". Or even just finding the crop.

I did stumble into a grow in Hawaii when hunting pigs. Felt like I was being watched the entire walk back to the truck. Needless to say I never hunted that valley again.
