You went where?

I went to the club today.  It was a little chilly, probably somewhere in the 30's but windy.  I was the only one there...when I pulled up I noticed a bunch of tracks in the snow.  I got dressed and made my way to the swamp.  When I got there I didn't really see any tracks.  I walked out into the field and manged to find one set of deer tracks and one set of...um...bear tracks I think.  I thought to myself...if there were a bunch of deer tracks by the truck, why not go there?  It's silly but maybe it will work.  I walked back to where the truck was and kicked up a fox.  I set up on the the top of a little hill on the way to 10 and overlooked the parking area.  After a little while I saw another fox walk from the field to the truck and then run down the farm road.  I saw in front of the swamp from where I was seated and saw a fox there too.  That's all I saw all day though.  It was still great to be out in the woods.

So warm out...

As I was driving up to the club the thermometer said 53 degrees.  That's unbelievable for January.  It was cloudy so it didn't make it feel quite as warm but it was still beautiful.  I went back to the swamp but as I was getting dressed I saw the farmer with his tractor in the field.  I had to get dressed and think about where I was going to go.  As I was getting dressed the farmer pulled up to me and got off his tractor and asked if I've seen any deer.  I told him it was hit or miss and that he should know better than I did.  He said he hasn't seen much.  He said he wasn't going to be field any longer so I went back to the swamp.  I sat the whole time and didn't see anything.  As I was getting out and walking back to the truck, across the field I could see two deer at the entrance to the field.  It was so close to my truck that I wouldn't have shot if I could because I would have been afraid to hit my truck.  I would have done better sitting in my truck tonight.  It was still a great day to be in the woods.

Back up to the club...

Went to the club for an afternoon hunt.  I wanted to sit back in the swamp.  This time the water is starting to rise in there, so there's not as much room.  I wonder if it will effect the deer?  As I was about to leave my truck Tony pulled up.  He's acting so weird anymore.  Anyway, he said he was going to go to 10 I think and I went to the swamp.  I sat the whole time and saw nothing.  When I was walking out, I saw Tony walking from 5 across the field.  When I talked to him he said that he took a walk around and thought he may push a deer to me.  What a dick.  How about not screwing up the woods by doing your own little walk about.  Ass.
