I saw a few this morning came out about 11 and got a bite to eat and warmed up. Decided to walk in about 1.5 miles to a spot that seemed promising at the back of my property and saw 7 just slipping thru on my way in. But the real story is I walked up about 20 yards from a nice young 7 point right in the middle of breeding a small doe next to a creek. I was thinking to myself, how romantic, that is until she saw me and tried to break and run. I just watched in amazement while they rolled around on the ground for a second like two dogs hung up. She ran off in the thicket with him not far behind. I gave him the ol “meh” just to get a glimpse of his rack and he pauses and looked dead at me. I’m not sure but he looked pissed and then ran off after her I assume in hopes to finish up what I interrupted. That was the first time I had seen anything like that in the woods.
While in the stand I saw several spikes as usual and a 4 point running a doe hard back and forth. Right before dark my dad texted me and asked if I saw one to shoot it because we were running low on smoked sausage. I had been watching 4 does graze around for about 20 mins so I picked the biggest one.
Long story short, had some awesome hunts this weekend even though I didn’t get the ones I was after. Made some memories and got some more smoked sausage. Sweated my butt off and froze my butt off and back to work tomorrow.
