Deer season is comin...

Check this out!

I just got a call from a buddy of mine from Church.

He was picked for a hunting lottery out of thousands of applicants to go hunt one of three large islands next to a massive man made lake up north.

He is allowed to take a buddy and his Son can't go so I got the call because it is archery only and we have been trying for the past couple years to hunt together but the properties he hunts he can only invite one guest which is usually his Son.

Luckily he has a nice sized boat and knows that lake very well so the plan is to boat to the island this Tues, scout a portion of the 150 acre island and find a couple nice spots.

Boat back in that night, sleep in the boat and sneak in before day break.
We can hunt all week long into Sunday but hopefully we each bag one especially since the hear is pretty big they say which is why they are calling people in to thin them out a bit.
He was told that only 10 guys were selected for the hunt and each guy can bring a guest.
so that means three islands for 20 guys to hunt, not bad, and the deer are in full blown rut right now.

He just had a 8 point buck follow him right into his spot the other day (smelled the estrus on his boots) but he did not have a chance to set up or load his crossbow yet and the buck took off- saw nothing the rest of the day.Doh!


I gotta get pics of this.
