My first day was Friday and must say that I was happy as a little gurrrrl. Got out about 530am and was ready to rock. First trail cam had about 100 pics on it with some nice bucks but noticed the past week that they had not been there and most the activity was in evening. Sat it out in that stand till about noon then headed to another stand where I had another camera. 221 pics on it and same thing with nice big bucks but they had been gone for a week and only activity was some does in evening. I pulled an all dayer and ended up seeing 3 deer.
Saturday hunted till about 11 and not a deer seen with my eyes. Did hear one snorting when I was walking in.
That evening had a nice doe come in with a fawn that was really young so I passed. I did have a nice buck walk up the next valley over and sit and graze there for about 20 mins. He would have got shot if he chose the valley I was in.
Sunday was a bust as well even with changing to 2 totally different stands that historically I never see anything in. Well history repeated.
Accepted my defeat and headed home along with my ground blind. Going to work on getting my nephew his first deer. Kid hasnt killed a thing in his life but going to watch him smack a doe here saturday morning. Im more pumped about that than anything!
