3rd Annual Realtime Reports

[knot for shore]

Nice read Dave.
I even found myself reading in a very low voice in my head. like i would if i were in a blind somewhere talking to someone.........or myself.

[Dave Sikorski]

Glad you like it.

We're out of the tree for the day. The rain should be starting here soon and the wind picked up as we left at about 9:30.

We only saw the one doe this morning, but at least she came into range.

Damn if I'm not a good guide. Guy's first bow hunt and he has a target within 30 or so min of shooting light.

He's beating himself up about it, as well he should.

I couldn't take arguing politics on the internet any longer so I hit the trees. I'm 25' up in a poplar tree and there's a very light intermittant drizzle. John is in the stand from yesterday about 100 yds to my right.

There's an occasional gust from the NE up to about 10knots and there's a hawk harrassing some squirells out in front of me somewhere. I forgot a darn bow hook today so wish me luck, I hope I don't drop it.

The skeeters are out something fierce. Let's hope the deer move too.

hang on the that bow, I dropped one once, it failed the drop test, string came off the pully, cable guard broke off.

[Dave Sikorski]

Neither one of us saw a thing tonight, but it was still a nice night in the woods. The rain started just as we called it a night. The bow is hung up until Monday.

I'm back in the camera stand this morning to try and replay last Thursday morning. It's nice and clear and the chirping of bugs is deafening. Theres a light north wind and we passed a few deer in the fields on the way here.

It's time to break the skunk.

A doe will fall this week.

In the pre dawn twilight an owl crashed through the trees and nabbed himself a nice morning squirrel snack. Since then it's been nice and quietan except for the crows that kust starting chatting up a storm.

It looks like the deer from thursday morning isn't a creature of habit.

Dave, the owl might have left enough meat for a sandwich if you get hungry later

[Dave Sikorski]

At the rate I'm going I should take up squirrel hunting.

Nothing seen this morning, and my seat was wet

-D

[weekender]

the wet seat was a test to see what you are made of. Maybe things will pick up mid morning. Kay is on stand today, I'm waiting on the phone to ring.
