What I did on my Vacation

When I got back to work on Friday I was asked what I did on my vacation. The answer I had was "I hunted", every day sometimes twice a day. Yep I hunted ducks in the morning and deer in the afternoon. The cold weather kinda slacked off and the ducks were not pouring in like they had been. I hunted alot of water sets and a couple land sets.

These two hunts came off of a couple water hunts. I got a lesser scaup (bluebill) and a couple mallards

I was invited up to my buddy weed's pond to shoot some geese. He also invited a another buddy of ours by the name of fasteddie. Even though the company was great, the goose shoot was not lets say "hot". We managed 2 divers, a mallard, and a lone goose. We hunted the pond the second to last day of my vacation.

I told weed we needed to shoot my deer property before my vacation was over. We set up a hunt for the next morning. We shot our limit of geese within a hour or so.
I shot my 2 geese from the first flock that came over, weed whiffed on his. I got the I-Kam rolling, and on the next flock weed got his 2 here's the video:







So that was the waterfowl section of my vacation.

The whitetail section didn't fare as well. Even though I saw deer almost every time I went out I wasn't able to get a shot. As is the bane of the deer hunter I had deer pass right under the deer stand that I was not in. The deer that did pass under my stand were small so I passed on them. I should've learned a couple years ago that when I pass on deer I don't get a deer. Oh well even though my bow season is over I still have a chance with muzzleloader season in Dec.

So until next week, keep your groups tight and your eye on the prize.
