November 3, 2006A teaser
I'm not going to give away too many details, as it's the subject for my Sunday column in The Roanoke Times. I will say that we saw great deer movement. Bucks weren't really chasing does, but they were following them. So the pre-rut is in full swing. I will also say that the guy holding the buck in this picture didn't shoot the buck, at least not with a bow. I was armed only with a video camera. If you want to know more, be sure to check out my column Sunday morning. If you are reading this on Friday, turn off your computer and get out there. This would be a great day to be in the woods if you can swing it. I worked this morning and have decided to not hunt this afternoon so I can spend some time with my visiting mom and my kids. I do have a stand I need to pull from an area I don't plan to hunt any more this season so I may haul them out with me. It seems fitting as I had the kids with me when I hung the thing, and this morning one of them asked me when we were going to go move deer stands. I plan to hunt tomorrow morning and afternoon in Bedford County. I expect I'll hear lots of muzzleloader shots. I'm sticking with the bow for the time being. |
