Got greedy tonight...
« on: November 08, 2008, 08:05:28 pm »
and ended up letting a doe spot me.  i was hunting on the ground and at about 5:30 i noticed six does picking their way through the kudzu.  two yearlings were in the lead.  they walked down the trail and stopped about seven yards from me broadside feeding on acorns.  i was tempted to shot one but i got greedy and set my sights on one of the mature does.  sure enough, the first one in line spotted me the moment she stepped into my shooting lane.  she eyed me for about three seconds then turned inside out and took the others with her.  oh well, maybe next time i won't be so greedy.

Keep being greedy but don't scare them all off before next weekend.     Pat

Hard to to get the jump on those old girls.... Hopefully, the yearlings will get through the gun season and have a few of their own yearlings for next year. You can always make another choice next time... ;)

A yearling in the hand is worth a doe in the bush ;).

pat, it might be easier for you to come through liberty and onto anderson.  then turn right onto 28 bypass, take that to hwy 81.  81 will take you straight to the farm.  this is the way i come up to your place. 

from abbeville, take 28 to mccormick.  after passing the b and e store on your right, go about two miles and bare right onto richey rd.  when you come to the end, you'll be across the road from de la howe school, turn right onto 81 and go three miles.  the farm is on your left.

c'ya fri!
