I Duffed It!

[DirtTime]

So, I get up this morning, head to one of my spots ( knowing it's mainly still under water, meaning a lot of ice, but one always has to try ), after not breaking my neck on the ice in some areas walking in before dawn, I take a seat until it gets light. Then I ease my way back out and head for home.

I stop to get a coffee to warm up, and while getting the coffee I decide I'm not bailing on the day, and decide to hit another public spot to do some still hunting.

Usual slow walk up the mountain, a few steps, look for a while, repeat. I get to the top, and start my slow circle around an open area doing the same, a few steps, look for a while, move. I get about half way around the open area, I look around for some time, and in this area, I always spend more time looking then walking, at least it seems like that to me. I decide to try and get a video clip of the area, I reach in my pocket for my phone and a Doe jumps and bolts from my left into the thick and nasty. I had no shot even if I dropped the phone. Also, I do not shoot at running deer! Period!

 

I looked that area over very closely, I never saw her laying in the med brush, she didn't even twitch. 

 

So just remember folks, when still hunting, if you think it's OK to move, take a few more minutes and look closer!
