Last night I got to thinking that with gun season opening up in the morning, every body and their brother would be in the woods waiting on the deer. I knew no one should be on the property I hunted but there are several tracks of land around me that should have hunters. Being as I rarely ever gun hunt (crossbow only) I planed to be there so that when Billy Bob and his 6 cousins got cold and frustrated not seeing anything and got up and started roaming the woods pushing deer…I would be there to take advantage of it. I have hunted this track of land for almost 6 years now and have a very good working knowledge of the escape routes they use when pushed.
Sure enough about 7:30 this morning the gun shots started. I only heard 4 or 5 but some of them were close enough that I figured it would be worth staying till lunch time, but I never made it that long. Most of the time hunters here start getting ready to leave around 9 or 10 and that’s when they start usually pushing deer.
Around 9:30, I saw the first group come sneaking in making their way toward my tree stand. In all I saw 28 deer this morning with 6 of them being bucks. All but one of the bucks were young deer, small racks and small bodies, but one of them…well, I’ll just say that I only have one buck tag left so I’ll be saving that one just for him.
Unfortunately for one fat doe… well she got to close to the stand to turn down so now I have deer to process.
Always a good sign after the shot.
Where she fell at.
My two little pigmy trackers. Laramee, the oldest and Keona, my youngest, are always ready to help with the dragging and cleaning.
During our muzzleloading or gun seasons here in KY, I hunt all day. The gun season is in the middle of the rut usually, so there's no telling what you'll see. Plus, I stay put in case people decide to push any toward me, just like with your situation.
