Day 3 of the 2019 Ohio Deer Season

Post by HunterGKS »

I was ready to go at 07:00 with the temp at 32, breezy, & totally overcast.


A red squirrel had been running all over the place since 1st light. I hate those
little PIAs!!!! At 09:20, a fox showed up & started foraging in the leaves. The
red scolded it & it ran to the base of a tree. The red came over & chased the
fox into the field. It’s amazing how a squirrel ½ the size or less than another
squirrel bullies the bigger un.

At 12:40, the sun broke through & really light up the corner of the field just
to the west. I fully expected a big buck to step into the field bathed in the
radiant aura. But, then again, the U. of Xichigan fully expected to beat THE
OSU last weekend & we all know how well that worked out for them, don’t we.

There had been a lot of Cardinals, mostly males, flying all around this area of
the woods. They are here every year. Suddenl7, at1:10, 2 males decided to
join me in the blind. Their noisy wings startled me, which, in turn, startled
them, & they flew from the blind to the 1st tree & watched me for a few
minutes. There were also a lot of nuthatches, blackcaps, & a couple of
different woodpeckers, a hairy & a red bellied. I enjoy watching the birds as
much as anything.

At 01:22, 2 foxes came out the edge of the woods & played around until about
02:30. That #@$%^&*()_ red was stilling running all over the woods. Watching
1 of them will flat wear you out. I have never seen a critter with so much
frenetic energy!

I was about half frozen & headed in at 03:00 with the temp up to 36 but the breeze
made it feel a lot colder. An 8 hour sit without even seeing a deer lacks gravity.
In other words: IT SUCKED!!!!

More like 3:01 & flipping me the bird!!!! My BiL does drives with several guys.
On Monday they pushed a herd of at least 25 with a lot of bucks & yesterday
they saw over 100. I know they have gotten at least 5 bucks with 1 a monster,
2 does, & 2 yotes. They push woods all around me but nothing has been coming
my way. The corner where I sit used to be the deer version of Grand Central Station
but for the past few years, not so much. I think it could be that there are less
hunters in the woods moving them around. Between 10 & 2 used to be the best time
as they were going to & returning from lunch.

Sounds like day 4 has a good chance of being better than day 2 and 3. But I am an optimist.
