I took Tuesday thru Friday off this week to concentrate on bow hunting before the two week rifle season begins here.
Tuesday, I headed towards the Rum River State Forest, just a few miles away. I had never been back there in the 11 years I've been in the area. I scouted a little in the morning to get a feel for the land, and where I might find some good hunting. One spot I stopped at was in a fairly older forest area. Walked down a ATV trail(foreshadowing) and found some really nice scraps with some tree rubs near by. This is where I came back for an evening hunt. Did not see a thing, except ATV's whizzing by on the nearby road, as well as a forest employee walking up the trail as I was setting up.
Wednesday thru Friday I stayed on my neighbors property as well as mine. I saw a small four point on Thursday's hunt, but he wasn't close to shooting range, and regardless, would not have taken a shot at him.
Next up: two weeks, including three weekends of rifle season.
Deer sightings: 1 Deer down: 0
