Hunted Ottawa National today

Well we scouted a few weeks back
Lots of sign in our unit , #8
It is split

I would love to hunt it during bow season


OK
Today sort of sucked
Wind ....Wind and more wind
Started out SW and warn , turned N NW and COLD
Started out 60 or so degrees and around quitting time , about freezing

I saw 1 nice buck before shooting time as I walked to where I wanted to be
And 1 doe in between me and SR 2
I had a so so shot for a few seconds
But I was posted only 150 yds off SR 2
I wasn't about to chance the shot hitting a car on SR 2

My hunting partnerr saw 2 also , both doe's
But didn't have a shot on either
#3 hunting partnerr got forced into work last night , so he had to miss the hunt

OH , there are deer in our zone , but there was a strip of 8"+ standing water between me and where I felt the deer were going to bed
It was dry when we scouted

Talking to the Ottawa Nation guys this morning
Tue was the only day that many deer were killed
If I remember right a couple Monday , like 8 Tue , and 0 Wen
Only heard a few shots today for the 8 Ottawa Nation Zones and 2 Magee zones
But in the wind and the distance , there may have been others I couldn't here

OH well it was a easy 10 min drive there
I will try again at home
As I saw 2 deer just as I got home feeding in the corn field behind my house
