This will probably be the last morning I see the sun come up like this during muzzleloader season. Went out this morning with my brother Darryl, and we only saw one little doe. He did his best to try and “kick” me something out of the dense underbrush, but it just didn’t happen. Not that there isn’t any deer sign! There were plenty of fresh tracks, but you can’t eat em! The wind was blowing out of the north-east, and that did not help our cause, but it was a gorgeous morning.
We stayed on stand till 10:00 o’clock, and then made a few drives. In our “stomping” around the woods and marshes, we did see plenty signs of foxes and coyotes. In fact we found a place where a coyote had taken a cardinal. Now you have to be pretty stealthy to sneak up on a bird! The wheels are turning for some “varmint” hunting once deer season is over.
The weatherman is calling for a warm Saturday with showers, and Sunday is out of the question, so looks like another muzzleloader season is in the books. It is so nice to have an extended bow season-there is still hope.
