Things are winding down. I am going to try to get out a few more times here in the next week but kids basketball games are starting to take over my weekends.
My family owns a lot on a private lake just west of us. If you own ground on the lake you can hunt the lake owned property. Essentially it is a little mix between public and private. It is like private because you can leave your stands in the tree year round, drive into some places and not everyone can access it. It is still like public because there are still a good amount of people that have the same access.
The lake rules are you have to kill two antlerless deer before you can shoot a buck. If you get 4 the previous year you are good to go right away. I had three in the bag prior to Thursday so I was good on bucks.
I started on Thursday November 5. I didn't have the day off but I wanted to get out for a little bit in the morning before work. I got into my stand late because I had to go to my third spot. Right at day break I saw a nice young 8. My phone started to go crazy with work so I only hunt an hour and half and headed into work.
