Met my oldest son at the property he got access to at 2:45 this afternoon . He put on out hunting gear and headed for the stands . He pointed out the stand that I would be using about 150 yards across the field . As we approached the spot where we would separate , a spike stepped from the high grass field into the access road and hauled butt when he saw us .
Sat in the stand from 3 - 6:30 pm . Didn't see another deer . 4 different guys went to different stands around 4:30 . and they left before we got down . Changed out of the hunting clothes and left . When I pulled out of the drive , I saw a doe across the road in a cut corn field eating . Up the road 1/2 mile a doe was standing right next to the road . A couple more miles I turned onto Thornell Road ( Pittsford ) and there was a very large doe standing next to the road . Apparently we shouldn't have been hunting the fields , we should have been hunting the roads ! J/K
I was facing North and the cold wind was blowing in my face . Wearing the camo face net mask helped some but every time the wind picked up , I got the chills !
