Buck Huntin Girl

Holy Moses! I am struggling to find the time to hunt, once I get there, it's a struggle to even SPOT a deer... argh. Hubby went Monday night, shot a doe, but we tracked for 1 1/2 miles in knee deep snow and couldn't find her, we went across at least 9 properties that we didn't have permission to be on, got out of the woods at 9pm, I guess it wasa lost cause, if she went that far, she obviously wasn't hit well. He's upset, so I guess he is hanging it up for the year. He hates losing deer, as do most hunters, makes him sick. By the time we walked 1 1/2 miles BACK to the truck, we were both hardly able to stand, literally. I could hardly breathe, it was awful, but at least we made a good go at it. She was hardly bleeding, just a spot every 100yds or so about 1/4" big... if there was no snow/tracks, we would not even have had a trail to follow. I think he just grazed her, we found some hair, but that was about it, it wasn't even bloody hair really. We got to a spot on one property where there were so many tracks we couldn't figure out which ones were her's with no blood.

Got another in Brown Co. last night. He has a serious problem with does. I saw 27. I then was going to my truck and saw 12 more. Then driving down the road I saw 10 more. I am heading there one last time tonight. The good news is it is over 200 lbs of meat that the kids here at school will get.

Do you have any pics of all these deer?

I think i have a problem with does too, the funny part is that i hadnt seen hardly any all year until muzzy started, now they are all over the place. I just hunted tonight and had to leave becuase of darkness but there were 16 doe out in the neighbors field. Tomorrow is my last day becuase i have to head to southern indiana for the weekend for my in laws christmas, i tried like hell to get out of it but the wife wasnt very happy about it so i decided i better go. The worst part of this is they dont even get cable down there and have no dish, i may have to miss the Colts game Sunday[:@] That would be the first in at least 8 years. It's looks like it will be time for Bob Lamey.

I can't stand Lame(y). I've missed 2 games since '98. The last time we played the Steelers on MNF a few years ago, and the beat-down we got from the Jets in the playoffs...both losses.

A picture of does? No.

Well it doesnt look like im going to get to hunt today, 30mph winds with some snow showers and the police are reporting whiteout conditions and drifting snow because of the wind. Schools are closing early. Just maybe i can convince the wife now that a 4 hour drive down south of French Lick really isnt a good idea and then i can stay home and hunt this last weekend

WHere are you. The sun is shing down here in Seymour, an hour South on Indy

bigbuckOO

Cass County, about an hour and half due north of Indy. Sun is shining right now here too, but the wind is howling at 25-30mph and its blowing the snow we got last week plus what we got this morning all over the place. Several accidents have been reported, some are 3 cars or more.

Man, glad that wasnt us. I went to college in Grant Co. it was always worse up there, than we have here.
