Ha-ha, a certain Fox forgot his thermacell! Was fun to watch him all buried in his winter coat, hood pulled up, while it was 72 degrees just to try and keep the bugs off him. Deer movement sucked, by the way. First time we've been skunked on our section of BW.

Hunted in a little bit differend area on the shore & I had a great day (even though the other 2 guys with me didn't). Guess I was in the magic spot. Ended up with a spike stag and a hind. Saw 15 deer in total, 7 sika and 8 whitetail. ;D

I had a great weekend. Not so much on BW but over all had a great weekend hunting with some good buddies. Was able to tag out on SIka for gun season with a nice Hind on openind day and a good spike on the sunday. Hunted BW on Monday and was in te "GOOD SPOT" only saw one deer and she was not hanging out long and way to far for the buck shot to get her.

I tried to meet up with you guys, but was a little late. Ended up taking a nice fat hind, but it was very slow where I was. The mosquitoes were horrible at first light. Fortunately, I had my thermocell on and then those south winds picked up.

Did anybody get down for sika anymore after Blackwater? I spent a few days walking marshes and thickets. First day shot a hind, then was dragging her out and jumped a stag. Dropper her, pulled the shotgun up and - the trigger wouldn't pull! I had pushed the safety so hard the button went from safe, through fire and almost out the other side of the trigger gaurd. Damn demoralizing. Next day I passed a small stag and another hind. Walked Blackwater one of the non-quota days, but didn't see deer or even much fresh sign. The last Friday I got out late in the afternoon and watched a patch of marsh, but nothing moved, no bugles, and never heard a shot. All in all, not bad. Plenty of exercise and opportunity, along with some meat in the freezer. By the way, congrats to Bartman on his big stag, you going to put a pic on here?!
