Had a great few hunts the last couple of days. The local WMA`s are great and I am blessed to be able to hunt them.
I had a place picked out to hunt that is about a mile and a half walk from the road . Chris had used his gps to measure it . I have killed critters farther from that from the truck but would rather be closer. so with some checking I found a spot I could get to with my canoe and walk about 300 yards. Thats much better .
Long story short I got set up on a swamp chestnut that did not pan out for me but I did see a big 8 pt that had been traveling.
I moved to a water oak that had plenty of sign under it and shot a doe at about 5 yards. She whirled at the shot and I hit her a shade back. I packed everything back to my take out spot then came back and took up the trail. To my surprise it was a good blood trail and only about 75 yards long. Got great video for icing on the cake.
Here are some pics . I was shooting my homemade string follow with a Simmons Tiger shark Allen gave me. Thank You Lord !!RC
Never seen the river this low or clear.
