No luck in East Branch this past weekend, rolled up to the camp late after Thanksgiving dinner. Got out into stand late Friday morning about 9:30-10:00, walked out at dusk only saw 1 squirrel. Saturday, was in stand by 8:00 came down for lunch from 12:00 till 1:00, again out at dusk, saw nothing besides birds. Sunday, bring lunch and tons of snacks because I am going to make a day of this. But the same crap, more rain and sleet and a jumped 3 does on walk in and a 3 pointer taunting me for most of the afternoon, again walking out at dusk. Monday, at a new spot, because the old timer down the road tells us he has seen a basket 6 in the ash pit. I take up in a blind of down trees at the edge of ash pit by 6:15, 7:15 2 does come through like they own the joint. I throw my arms up in despair by 9:30 and tap out.
Looks like I am going to get into the bow action and hopefully extend my season by a few more weekends for next year.
