TOO HOT
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
After they romped around, fought and munched they walked with 5 yards of my deer blind.
I'll probably hold off on these guys until next year and the next year to let them get bigger. There's still the rut. I will patiently be waiting. I'll probably go out to the stand and actually hunt this weekend.

Bummer!
I'm almost flooded in as I'm surrounded by 3 rivers, all within less than a mile of my house on all sides. I put my lake shoes on and took Riverlyn on a hike through the water-covered roads to see one of the bridges that was overtaken with water. I imagine by tomorrow it will be washed down stream. The earth is comletely washed away from all sides and the river is STILL RISING. It has to quit raining before the rivers can crest and it won't even stop raining until after tomorrow, maybe tomorrow p.m.?
Anyways, my trial camera is probably completely under water and THAT SUCKS! If it's not under water by some chance, it's going to have some amazing pictures on it at least!

SETTING UP
MMMMM! MMMM GOOD! I'm pretty sure my hubby has the sexiest butt in the world. (I really was helping I promise!)Here's the creek, the money spot. Also a great fishing spot. A freind just caught a 44lb. catfish out of here. Soon, I will bowfish this place! And here's what J's sexy back looks like AFTER playing Tarzan in a high, wet tree. He works so hard for me. I don't know what I'd do with out him!
No, that's not his tail and he didn't poop himself, it's his stylin' fanny pack strap. (He keeps his tail hidden.)
After getting everything set, we went out to the edge of the bean field that faces our stands, climbed a tree, broke out the binoc's and glassed the area. I knew as soon as the sun started going down, we would spot one. Scouting is just as exciting as hunting. It pays off too. Because now, I know there's a buck out there. He came out from the trails right near the stands, wondered through the beans to catch some dinner, then wondered off back toward the creek. We didn't see any does though, they probably caught our scent from setting up earlier in the day. Today we dropped some corn and set up the trail cam and from here it's just wait 'til the season starts. Next we'll set up a ground blind on our back few acres for days when we only have an hour or two to hunt. I imagine the next part of this blog will have the pictures from the trail cameras, and the part after that will be talking about the arguments J and I have about who gets to hunt first. He'll have to fight me for it. Literally.
