Hunting Season Is Finally Here!

Now that most of our Fall field work is complete, we can take some time off to hunt.  Got to sit last weekend with my bow and saw 8 bucks and three does in two sits.  All of them got within 20 yards or less while I sat in a ground blind, or just on a stool tucked into some mesquite trees.  One 9-point walked up to15 feet before daylight while I was sitting in the bushes - he never saw me!  None of the bucks were what I was looking for, although two were very tempting.  After watching deer for 45 minutes I decided to take a large doe, but by then she had gotten to where I couldn't get a shot.  Maybe next time!

Here are a few more trail camera pictures from the ranch we hunt near Abilene, Texas from the past five weeks.
