ducks and bucks

Since duck season has started and I have yet to bag my buck. I'm burning the hunting candle at both ends.
In the morning I've been going duck hunting and in the evening I've been deer hunting.
The duck hunting has been goin' kinda slow.
I worked last weekend which was opener, they (other duck hunters) must have shot the heck out of 'em. During early goose I was seeing lets say 100 ducks a day and now I'm lucky to see 15. I have been out a couple times and the ducks have not come back yet. I have been lucky enough to bag a few.




This is my first duck this year. I whiffed on my second duck. I would've been just as effective to take 3 shells and throw them at the second duck.

















This is the second day and the only duck I got to shoot at.







Now as for the deer, I saw Mr. Big Jr. on Tuesday night. He's a high tined 8 point that I would not think twice about taking. He came out with 10 minutes left to shoot and never made it over to me. All I could do was watch him, which was pretty cool.

It seems the coyotes have come back again this year. I have been seeing 3, but last week I had 7 in front of me, so it looks like I'll be putting in some sniper duty this year. I wasn't going to hunt yotes this year cause they aren't worth anything, but to keep my deer population up I'll bury a couple.

Bow season has begun

I didn't make it out the first couple days of season due to work. I have been out 2 days and have seen quite a few deer. The first morning I saw 9 deer I passed on 2 yearling button bucks. The second morning I saw 4, two of which I could have shot 2. I got video of both the deer and just as a sneak peak I'll put the button buck on here.
I have seen 3 shooters and hope I can seal the deal by fri morning.


I have tried and tried to get the time right, I still haven't been able to get it done.
