Great work Chrisjan! that is a beautiful deer.
Great to see you are on them Bobcat, you will get him. Keep me posted, I love hearing about sucess up that way.
Bowcamp with the kids was awesome. I am pleased with how well the kerosene heaters worked to supplement the woodstove, we have an awesome time. My 8 year old son killed his first deer, it was a fawn to be honest, but he was so excited that it doesn't matter. My 15 year old and I messed up an a huge 8, he would have gone on the wall. I wanted to hand him the X-bow so he could shoot it, he thought we would get busted. I thought the buck would follow the doe right to us and we had plenty of time, but we didn't he turned and walked the other way. Not spooked, just wandered off.
I am going to hunt all day tomorrow and the next day. Tomorrow I am going to go after my #1. I will have a marginal wind, but it is blowing away from the bedding so it's good enough for this time of year. If I didn't hunt it in a marginal wind, I wouldn't get to hunt him at all until after the first week of rifle. I will be on LFTS all day tomorrow.
I am not feeling very confident in my crossbow, it seems to wear out strings in like 10 shots, but I am sure it will be fine for a couple more hunts. I think it's time to go to a differnt brand, but not this year. I have a spare, and I have the one my kids use if I want to switch.
Anyone else doing an all day **** in the next three days?
