I left the stand at 1:00 p.m. The stand was swaying and I wasn't even seeing very many birds.
Totals for the day:
Five deer (no antlers, no ethical shots)
One skunk
One rabbit
One feral cat.
Countless squirrels, both Red Squirrels and Fox Squirrels. One of them was bold.
Some Blue Jays and Cardinals.
Three crows (An attempted murder? When does a group of crows become a "murder"?)
I heard geese (The proverbial Canadian Air Force fly-over).
I heard Sandhill Cranes.
One Redtailed Hawk.
One goshawk-like hawk. I am not smart enough to identify which one.
Shotgun was in the Taj. It is much more protected than the Orchard stand where I was hunting. It is in a bowl and the sides of the bowl are covered with trees.
A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day in the office.
ReplyDeleteNot a hunter, you can borrow the phrase, I don't mind.
My buddy, now deceased, liked to put a bird feeder up as his deer stand. He loved to watch the birds and adjusted his trail cam to get really nice pictures of them. He also said that all of the activity from the birds tended to reduce the awareness of the deer of his movements. ---ken
ReplyDeleteThree crows?
