No luck on the deer this evening. Guess I'll be lion hunting tomorrow. Found out some guys pushed a couple cats our direction. So hopefully they make to our country by morning

Lion hunting was a bust again. Snow was melting to fast to hold scent today. Hopefully go out tomorrow evening for deer.

Well this afternoon felt kinda lame. Only does I saw were way across on some private and the one buck I saw was a spindly horned 4x4 that I wasn't willing to shoot didn't get pics of him cause I didn't feel like wasting my time stalking him. Hopefully get to go hunt tomorrow evening where the whitetails are hanging out.

It's all about being there at the right time!

Brother just whiffed a shot due to not accounting for the wind on a decent buck, watched the arrow sail literally a hair breadth from the front of his chest perfect height. But he found them bedded a again and is stalking now.

Happens to everyone, keep after em!
