Last day...

Well, it's the last day of the season.  I ended muzzy last week and now I have the last day with the bow this week.  I decided to go to recycling center for one last try.  I had been seeing deer, sporadically but I have my feeder there, although I haven't checked on it in forever.  The weather was beautiful and unseasonably warm but it was breezy.  As I was getting dressed a car pulled up, it was someone else from the cull.  We chit chatted and he went on his way.  I got to the tree and started to put stuff up on the tree and I saw the other guy that hunts there.  This time, however, he was just cutting wood.  We exchanged pleasantries and he was on his way.    I climbed up the tree and sat for a very peaceful, beautiful evening post.  I didn't see a deer but passed my time with a bunch of squirrels.  It was a nice way to end the year.

Trying something different

Today was the last day with the muzzle loader.  I headed up to the club in the afternoon and once again found no one there.  The weather was really nice, almost warm and I had every intention to go over to the dip stand.  I hadn't seen anything there in the last few posts but it just felt "deery" there.  Well, when I got there and walked into the property, I happened to notice some tracks as soon as I got to the field.  Then as I walked in, I saw some droppings.  I ignored it and continued to the dip stand.  Once I got there I got a stupid idea.  I decided to go back to the truck, get a chair and sit in the first hedgerow.  I may not see anything but honestly, I haven't been seeing anything anyway and this was at least a place with some sign.  Well I did and had a very comfortable post.  As expected, I didn't see any deer...but it was an enjoyable last muzzy post. When the sun was just about gone I took a shot to clear the gun and headed home.
