Letting a young buck walk this year hopefully will pay off in the future with a wall hanger
Actually the season for me is over even though we have till 02 January to hunt. While I never got to pull the trigger on an antlered buck this season the three antlerless deer I did get will provide my family and I many good meals till the season rolls around again. I spent a lot more time hunting this deer season then last and although the weather was a bit warm for my liking it wasn’t to bad.
We added some additional property to land we lease some will continue to lease next year and some will let go. The land I got into in the eastern zone of the state, Harnett County, looks the most promising. I got into that club late so there was little time to scout or get the lay of the land before the season rolled in on us. I did some scouting on the fly so to speak and while I didn’t see any monsters I saw the sign that tells me there are some nice ones in there. Once the season gets out I can walk some more of the property and begin making plans for next year.
Some land we leased in the central zone we had some negative encounters with neighbors who for years had just hunted this land for free. With us leasing it there was some hostile encounters and a near fight or two. I’m getting a bit old for those types of shenanigans so we’ll just let that lease go.
Deer season is measured in more than just tags filled; its days spent with friends moving stands, dragging deer, filling feeders, planting food plots, sitting around swapping lies. Hunting Camp is great time and a time we connect with one another. The pressures of the world may invade our minds and the camp from time to time but there is a bunch of guys who’ll do whatever you need or help ya any way they can like I’ll do for them. Deer Season might be over or about over but there is still small game to chase and waterfowl to hunt and before you know it Turkey Season will be here.
Lets Hunt
