Well after our deer hunt last month we kicked around the idea of going again over Thanksgiving weekend. We all got out kitchen passes and we hit the water at first light Thanksgiving day morning. The seas that day where smooth as glass and as we passed a few of the islands I spotted a doe on the bank! After a little excitement, we got the boat stopped and recondo made a 200 yd shot that dropped it where it stood. We made it to out hunting area about noon and hit the woods. There was about a foot of snow and there where freaking tracks all over the place! It really helped that the bucks where obviously in the rut. I wasn't even in the woods a hour and had a nice 6 point pop out in front of me trailing a doe at about 200 yds.One shot and he dropped. Day 1, 1 doe, 1 buck. Day 2 the weather went south pretty bad and we had to re anchor in a different cove. It is a little scary when in the middle of the night that alarm goes off on that boat saying you are drifting! Got a late start and stalked a few miles, finally connected with a little yearling. Day 3, I decided to try a different route and as I started I heard a buddy shoot 1 shot. Thinking he got one I trended over there to give him a hand only to find out that he had flat out missed. I went back to my original plan and started stalking in the thick junk, hoping to kick up a deer. Well it got a little to thick and as I busted out of the brush there stood a nice 3 pointer. Missed that joker at 150 yds the first shot, but the follow up dropped him. A pretty good weekend
