November 8-23, 2008
Two full weeks, three weekends. Number 30 will be tomorrow night. I plan on sleeping in tomorrow morning.
I shot a doe on the first Sunday of our Minnesota rifle season. Chris got his doe on his lease Saturday a.m.
It was a very weird rifle season. Usually you arise in the morning and settle in to an audible sun rise, full of expectation and hope. You hear guns. Clacks, booms, and the infamous 4-6 rapid fire brush busting rifle bursts from hell. Normally, at dusk you can feel the anticipation as gun shots slowly and randomly begin, until the final shot echos and you know some lucky someone is hoping his shot was true and the whitetail would fall near.
This year sucked. The night I shot the doe, I should have taken the doe she was with because it was slim pickings this year. Opening weekend there was hardly any shots heard from anywhere. The state land did not have as many people hunting, as it was cold and windy. The past two weekends have been just as disappointing. I finally saw another deer Friday night.
I'll update if needed, but I don't expect much tomorrow night. I'll give it a go one more time with the gun and then break out the bow for the rest of the season starting next week.
Deer sightings: 3 Deer down: 1 Time on stand: 18 hrs.
