I took the day off to go hunting today. The weather is outstanding! First I headed up to Flatbrook to find some pheasants. It was crowded but not super terrible but, to my surprise, Amil wasn't there. So Greg and I went up the hill instead of the field. I think that was a mistake as we didn't see anything. Well, not much anyway. We had three birds in a tree from the lot but chose not to shoot them. As we went up the hill, there was a flyover that I took a pot shot at but didn't hit (it was high) and then, as we came around the other side of the hill a bird was in the tree and took off (startling Greg). He shot but missed. That was it! No other birds seen.
I then headed up to the club. I brought my stand to go between 3 and 4 and had a hard time finding a tree. I sat lower than I would have normally liked in a crooked tree and was facing the field. As luck would have it, I had two does behind me for quite a while. They were just picking back and forth for a while. I couldn't turn and get a shot and was hoping they would come into the field but they never did. oh well...close but no cigar.
