Went to lease this weekend to finish up the stand etc...game pics too. - 10/05/15 12:41 AM
I got there early enough to sit in my stand Friday afternoon. While sitting there I added cover to my windows and finished the only window that wasnt complete. While sitting there I had deer at both feeders and even had a few Turkeys come by. I got up Saturday morning and got to the stand a little late and scared off a few deer. Once it settled down the deer came back in. I saw 8-10 deer with four of them bucks although none of them was a shooter. I also had 4 gobblers and 8 hens. I saw a sow and piglets but only at a distance and didn't have time to try and shoot them. After things settled down I finished up the roof, added a few more supports to the stand in order to shore it up. I finished up the day by clearing a little brush to allow me to see a little better.
I do have one question. I forgot to mention I saw three HUGE coons. It was just before daylight. They were in the pen along with two deer and all of them were relatively close to each other. As bad as I wanted to shoot them I was hesitant because of the wire pen. I was concerned with the bullet ricocheting off a wire and hitting one of the deer. What are your thoughts? Is this something worth considering next time? Or just go ahead and not worry about it and give the suckers a dirt nap?
Here are few pics from the game cam.
