Hunting
Got out to do a bit of hunting today. Went up to the mountain northwest of Elkhorn Lake and hunted that area. No mast here either. Jumped more grouse which was a bit of a surprise but saw no sign of deer OR bear. When I say no sign I mean no sign at all. Not a print, not any scat, not a single rub, not a thing. I took the Savage 99 in .308 Winchester. Would have gotten a photo of the gun out in the woods but my camera battery died. I did get a photo of of the heavy fog that was on the mountain when I started in. It was a wet and dreary day but it wasn't too cold and moving quietly was easy in the rain and with the sopping wet leaves.
That could be a place I hunted
ReplyDeleteyears ago. The edges of a series of
clear cuts in Michigan held lots of deer and grouse while they were growing back up.
Twenty years later they are so thick I can't even find the places I used
to sit and watch deer trails.
