I got out hunting a few times earlier this week. A spell of ridiculously hot weather finally broke, with the usual cold rains. So my first session was cold and unproductive. Next morning I did a walk through of an area that I've hunted before. Great bounding herds of fat and happy deer! Of course when I spent some time there the next sunrise there was....nothing.
This season I'm hunting multiple spots in two different areas. Here's some views of pretty, but unproductive landscapes....
A ground blind. Yesterday six deer had gone prancing right past this spot.
And just for variety the view from a high up tree stand. More woods to survey, but still no deer. Although to be fair I did have a little excitement when a juvenile black bear went running through at a clip that suggested Goldilocks was eating his porridge.
Weather and other obligations make the next expedition tbd.
Oh, one more thing. As the modern age now reaches into the back woods I have to turn off all sound on my phone. Wouldn't want to get a spam call when a big buck was just strolling into range. When I got back from the woods I decided, hey, lets just leave it on silent mode. I don't need to pay that much attention to the distractions of modern technology.
