Williamsburg Bow Hunter

Well, I decided to get up and go this morning in spite of the warm temps, water and bad moon. I’ve got two setups on this piece of property so I decided to go to the one easiest to get up in without having to tread too much water. No deer moved where I was so I got down a little after 8:00 and went to the other stand to pull my camera card. Just looked at it and my bear was there this morning. I need to reposition the camera downward slightly because it’s only catching the top half of the bear. Check out my trail cam gallery for a photo of him and a buck shedding his velvet. Looking forward to some drier and cooler weather in a few days. Later…

Well, the season finally opened, quite wet I would admit. I woke up at 4:30, checked the weather on my iPhone, and went right back to bed. I was determined, however, to go out in the afternoon. I went to one of a couple of stands not under water. It’s one bean field. I knew there was a good buck in the area because I had a trail cam photo of him in the early morning hours earlier in the week. I really wasn’t expecting him to show before dark, but he fooled me. You can see what unfolded in the “Deer-2013” video gallery. Stay tuned for further developments. Later…

Just two days away from opening day of bow season. Got a good looking buck on trail cam this morning. Check him out. Looks like the weather’s going to be good for opening day- considerably cooler, but maybe damp. Feeding chart also looks good. I’m pumped! Later…

Well, things are looking up, on a number of fronts. It’s drying up some and I’ve finally gotten all of my stands up. Put the last one up this afternoon. Still have a couple of camera arms and tree straps to go but should have everything done by the weekend. Getting some good bucks on trail cam so I’m getting pumped about next Thursday. Later…
