Sunday Hunt
« on: September 08, 2009, 08:59:28 AM »
Not too much to say.  Got out Sunday and the wind blew and blew and blew.  I had to hold my bow with two hands on occasion.  Finally spotted some deer a couple miles off around 10:00.  I put a move on them hoping they were bucks from the way they held their head and ears, since they were too far away to spot horns.  Missed my landmark and ended up sneaking right into them and they busted me.  A nice 3pt, two smaller 3x2's, and a 2 point.  Got on them again about a mile away and 45 minutes later browsing.  Circled around to try to cut them off and was about 3 minutes to late.  they ended up downwind of me at 50 yards.  Trailed after them for two more hours, then stopped for lunch hoping they would settle down and bed.  I thought I had a funnel cloud heading towards me, but it was just the front end of a huge duststorm.  Rocked the truck pretty good and left visibility at about 30 feet.  Hunted the rest of the day and didn't spot anything.  Nothing too exciting for photos, but it is something to look at.

Cool storm pic's! When it hit Moses Lake we got nailed by 3 Electrical Hazzard calls almost at once. High winds were nasty!

I got caught out in the open Saturday evening when the winds really picked up.  I could see the dust wall coming at me.  I hit the leeward side of a small canyon.  Saw 3 deer while making my way back to the truck including a small forky.
