Your 5 acre spot sounds like a prime prime spot where a buck will lead a doe to lock her down when it's time to breed. Rut might be pretty crazy in that spot. I know the urge to check cameras is strong, but I would stay out there as much as possible from here on out only going in to hunt.
Did you see Tony Bennett's presser saying he is hanging it up from Virginia BBALL coach? Pretty much in so many words said college sports suck now...at least I feel that's what he wanted to say.
I live a bit from them, but i do have some work sites on the reservation. I'd never do something like that on reservation land let alone anything else really. I mind my ps and qs. Haha
I'm gonna get heat for this cause it's very rarely the dogs fault it's the owner, but I have zero qualms about ending an idiot dogs life at any time. Living near a reservation for a long time you learn quickly to pretty much shoot on sight.
It's truly a mystery. It's a gruesome crime so it seems it would be personal, but when people snap some can do insane things like they blackout. My wife has made me watch a lot of forensic files. Maybe he got in the way of the wrong person cutting firewood. Seriously who knows. Either way it's...
That's what I'm talking about! Glad you decided to chase some elk with the bow again and share the journey. I'll concur your picture taking on this adventure lacked compared to other trips. Haha
