A 3 month huntin story

This will be like one Charlie Lamb would tell, but only because it's gonna take me til January 15th to get all the info for it...

I've been a few times already, only skunked once when it rained me out after 20 minutes in the stand.

I've seen quite a few does and little bucks, the does that offer a shot always seem to have a runt fawn with them so I give them a pass.

The first decent buck I saw was on or about 10/6 , it's been pretty hot and dry here.

He showed up about sundown , but just didn't quite trip my trigger this early in the season. I only have one buck tag til gun season and didn't want to spoil the fun so early.

Now fast forward to today, 46 * and light West wind. This is already faster than my ol buddy Charlie...

I went to a stand on an old levee that pinoaks have taken over. This is not on the river, but at the bottom of hill where bottom starts. They used to build these to keep the hill water from flooding the bottoms.

Anyway just after daylight, I could hear a lot of acorn popping behind me on the hill side of levee, finally saw a small buck and thought what a hog with all the racket he was making. Well it turned out there were 3 bucks and that was the middle one . The bigger one worked a scrape limb and then idled down into the ditch above levee right behind me...

Then the other 2 bucks fed on acorns in behind me and all around me as their bigger bud moved on somewhere else...

Short story tonite, they put rain off til 2 AM so I went to back of my place under a huge pinoak. Finally a spike showed up and went by at 6 yards.

My sapper jacket pulled thru again, he had not a clue.
