Streak is Over

[osprey]

I've had a nice streak going, for the last four years there's been a nice buck killed out of my Nodak ground blind in my back field during the early MZ season. One for a kid and three for me. Knew it had to come to an end sooner or later, unfortunately it was this year. Wind was only right to hunt it once and didn't have a shot. Did see a buck that morning, but he was 200 yards out and went the other way - and just as glad because he's one I'd like to let grow and I may have been tempted.

Rest of the three days were tough. Every where I went the wind seemed to change or swirl or the deer came from odd directions and got my scent. Tired of hearing snorting and stomping! Need to take my frustrations out on a few does this week. Even my flintlock is upset and ready to bite something!

It was a tough early muzzleloader season Osprey and no big deal in a couple of weeks the deer hunting really will get good. I hunted my eastern shore lease Thursday and sat in my stand all day and never seen a sika deer but damn were they ever bugling in the am before first light. I hunted Friday morning back at my shore lease and again no sightings so I decided to make a move and hunt in Southern MD in the afternoon and got lucky on a nice 8pt buck. Sat morning me and Big Fox hunted one of my spots in Southern MD and he got it done on a nice fat doe and in the afternoon hunt I got a nice fat doe too. So didn't see allot of deer but did manage to bloody the smoke pole. No doubt you will get it done Osprey as you hunt hard!! good luck the rest of the season.

All good things must come to an end. Time to start a new streak (perhaps doubling up with sika stags in my canoe).

How would we do that Bart, I'm only allowed to shoot one per season?!?

I had a good weekend over here. We were able to get some kids their first bucks.
