Good luck!
I got back last night from a couple day hunt there.
Even with the Thermacell, I got ATE UP!
Did watch a stag for over an hour.Took him that long to go from 80 yds away to 50 yds away.
Looked like he had been struck by a car: bad limp on both right side legs.
He would drop all the way down to his chest every step.
He was actively feeding, so I guess he was getting by.
(I know- Dave couldn't even kill a cripple!)
Had what I THINK was a hind right under me yesterday morning.
Problem was, it was still too dark.
I think what spooked her was me hauling my bow up.
Smacked the tree,and she exploded.
Heck, all the noise I made going up that pine, should have scared her off way before!
She had come in quietly, I think, on a dry ridge of pine needles.
Once the sun got up, the wind fairly HOWLED all day!
Place way MOBBED with traffic jamming, pony-loving idiots.
And plenty more steaming in yesterday.
Was also fairly good numbers of bowhunters.
been way to crowded last decade, and numbers of sikas going way down.
Saw very few cruising around at night, and not much bugling:\unless you count the guys that bought Doug's call.
Doug-if you read this, please include instructions warning folks that it ain't a musical instrument that needs to be blown CONSTANTLY!

Not on my part its not.Just that its not in the book.Just trying to let everyone know.The beach needs more hunters,but the mans right the hunting sucks anymore.Maybe with more hunters who knows.Now and the new late shotgun is the best time there.

I was making a joke at your typo. You said black power by accident.  |

It needs LESS hunters! Place is fairly swarming with folks, lots from PA. Heck there were 6 guys ahead of me for BOW hunting! Numbers are way down, with the liberalized seasons. (and more open this year!) They are TRYING to knock them way back, same as with the ponies. For the plover, or some such. Have enjoyed it immensely the last 15 years or so, one of my favorite places to hunt. But with the ever increasing fees, crowds, and fewer sika, I'm not sure I'll be going back. |

Can't argue with most of what you said.Sad but true , but I love the beach have had many good years there.As far as number of hunters I think we need MORE.Maybe then they would listen a little more to what we have to say.As of wed. they only killed 11 for early ml , only 1 bigger than a spike,very sad.For me 0 by way of a miss fire.Only saw 3 stags and 7 hinds.And thats hunting am pm everyday.
