Yeah, instead of hunting Sat afternoon we took our 4wheelers all over the property and he showed me the boundaries and game trails.
Saw deer 3 different times.
I gotta tell you, I have a great feeling about it, and made a new friend to boot. The weekend couldn't have gone any better.
Sunday morning I was in my most trusted ground blind and saw two deer...one came straight at my stand but no shot opportunity as they were on the run, being chased by dogs. Later that morning, as I was helping the neighbor load a tractor tire, a different dog came to the house....he had a collar, and was just skin and bones, looked starved....would fall down every few steps....I put him in the truck and got to a phone, called the owner. Asked him to meet me, but he said "I don't got any way to git there...." Got directions and took the dog back, but didn't really have a good feeling about that dog's chances.
I can't go into all the different good things from this weekend, just a whole lot of little things that were really good. No deer down and only two 2hour hunts, but a great weekend nonetheless.
