Today was almost too warm here to think of deer hunting.Nevertheless about 3:30 I gathered my next door neighbor and my gunsmith and we went to a new to us piece of property that is as deery looking a piece of land I have ever seen.Very thick woods with several food plots.A creek runs thru it and on one side there is a high hill with acorn trees.We each decided where we wanted to hunt with the gunsmith choosing the hillside which is the far backside of the property.I was in the middle on a ladder stand over a logging trace and my neighbor was in a ladder stand on the edge of the really thick stuff.He had two bucks fighting near him but couldn't see them.I even heard a little of the noise they made blowing and snorting from over 300 yards away.About 6:15 I heard the 25-06 of the gunsmith.I waited awhile and cell phoned him.He had a nice 6 point estimated to be about two years old and about 140 pounds.I waited till about half hour before dark and picked up the neighbor and my vehicle and we actually made it most of the way to the other side in a 2 wheel drive Trailblazer.We went in and dragged the deer out and got it to his home for him to finish butchering.A great way to start gun season.We are going again Saturday.

Our gun season doesn't start for another 3 weeks, which is good because it's too durn hot right now for my taste. Nothing I hate more than hunting with the bugs, lol. I did go down to my lease this weekend for a final check on the feeders, game cameras, etc. Best of luck to you on the rest of your season.
