What a dumb arse?!? I would never do something that...... Oh wait it was me. Yep wouldn't you know it I sit between 3 water sources. One spring that was 60 yards above me and 2 water troths sp? below at about 25 yards. I had a small group of 8 come in to the spring above and wind me. No big deal because there was only one small 8" buck in the heard. So I start thinking they must be hitting that spring more then the throths. If I hurry I can move my double bull blind in 5 minutes or less. I scan the area, obviously not very good, and hall arse moving it. About 4 steps into the move I here duvvvvvvvv. I stop, then duvvvvvv again. F$%k!!! I turn around and see a good 14" buck staring at me about 100 yards away from the troths. So I do what any true sportsman would do and gave him the bird. Walked up put my blind down and sat for another 4 hours without anything coming in.
So to answer your question I did go hunting and hope to go again soon. Good luck when you go and I hope you have better luck then I did. I did find something pretty cool though. I'll post in the shed section soon.
got my bro-in-law and friends down near Grand View, but have not heard a report. was supposed to leave tonite, but the dang whiff invited one her friends up from CA, so I have to take them out on the boat all weekend and stare at bikinis hump

I knew I'd screw the spelling or the meaning up. I did google it and I think I was trying for water trough. What is an albatroth?
Saw 9 bucks today, all were small 1 1/2-2 1/2 yr olds, one decent buck in the distant,geussing 14"+ but was little to far off to judge that well......they were'nt in there normal spot they have been last few yrs, so I had to do a bit of runnin/glassin, finally found a good pond thats been getting hammered, 45 yds at widest point, good place for a blind, normally all I do is spot/stalk and wait for the rut to kick in to decoy, but I feel I might need to add a double bull or brickhouse to the arsenal........I know DB are real popular, but I see guys like Micheal Waddell using the brickhouse on roadtrips......anyone have experience with them, there couple hundred cheaper, figured I could get a portable dvd player to watch movies while waiting for thirsty goats.
I got out the other day and had a group of 9 (1 buck 12in) come in, but they were very spooked and bolted before they drank??? They came back after shooting time and drank and ate for a long time...I didn't leave the blind until 10:45...long day!
I'm hoping they'll calm down and give me another chance.
