Took a little hiatus, but figured I’d stop back in and give some updates. DIL decided she wanted to archery hunt this year and my son refused to buy her a crossbow, so she settled for a Diamond Archery women’s compound set-up. Now mind you she got this bow a week before season and by the second weekend of the season she got her first deer with a compound! Of course, Ellie Jane had to pose as well. Ignore the child’s bare feet, it’s a SWGA thing.
Didn’t take long before #2 was on the deck.
And then #3, lol.
Georgia had an early doe only rifle season and CJ was ready to go!!
Doe #2 came that afternoon from the same stand, lol. Notice a suppressed rifle after using that youth model cannon that morning, lol.
After that we switched stands and have been hunting a buck for him…until yesterday evening when the does just got too much for him…his 3rd doe.
I’ve taken a couple with the bow and we’re at 20 so far for the property. Only 30 more to go and the season is young.
I’m still doing the thermal thing and have one property completely rid of hogs! Had a sow with piglets that made me consider giving up hunting, lol. She only showed during daylight hours around noonish and maybe for 10 minutes about 5:30pm. Deer blew the stalk twice and stupid coveys of quail did me in 3 times! I finally came in downwind from a long long ways and set up shop waiting for her one Saturday. Finally got her and 2 piglets and ended up killing the other 2 about 2 weeks later.
Ain’t heard a coyote in months, but did find a couple sets of pup tracks and set up that very night. Both came in but only got one. The next night I changed setup location and called the second one in and sent it over the rainbow bridge.
Really liking this cooler weather and the deer seem to as well according to my cameras. I don’t have any bucks on camera to get excited about other than my piebald survived opening weekend, lol. He’s a nice little 10pt this year at 3.5. Hoping he makes it this year and the next. He’s liable to be 150”+ if he makes it to 5.5.
