Took Tristan out yesterday with no sucess. The morning didn't even reveal a deer. The evening, well we got there later than we should have and the deer were early getting there and blew down the woods snorting with every jump. So this morning we figured we'd try something different. We took a walk behind our house and set at the break of a very steep embankment that over looks a nice open bottom below by a bean field. I've hunted there a few times in gun season and always seen deer. This morning wasn't any different other than the heavy fog. We took our time and eased back there since the fog was heavy enough that visibility was only about 25-30 yds or so. We got settled in and after about 10-15 minutes more had lifted and this doe appeared right in front of us at about 40 yds. He picked himself out a spot on her and let the Rossi do it's work. After the smoke had all cleared, we could see a white belly lieing there. He couldn't have been happier, and well, neither could I....  |
