My morning hunt lasted all of one hour, since it was curtailed by a construction crew showing up right next to one of my suburban hunting spots. The sounds of power equipment, vehicles, and voices ensured my hunt was going nowhere.
My afternoon lasted less than one hour, but it ended with a bang. Literally.
I was attending a party in close proximity to my hunt club Saturday afternoon, so I threw my bow, muzzleloader, and hunting clothes in my truck. Not expecting much, I left the party and arrived at the hunt club around 5:30 PM. After I dressed and loaded my T/C Encore, I walked into the woods around 5:40PM. Around 5:50 PM, a few deer walked on the trail in front of me. By 6:00 PM, I put a nice shot on doe.
It is rare that a hunt comes together so quickly, but I’ll take it. The doe is nice meat for the freezer, and with the early harvest, I now can be more selective on upcoming hunts.
Bring on the big boys.
