I'll be out for flintlock, the deer seemed to have my number this year.
I saw 18 does on opening day but my area was bucks only. Tuesday, (the icy forecast one) I hunted a couple of hours and saw a buck or two in some downed tree tops but no shots. Then headed home before it got really bad. The first Saturday, I forgot my license at home and as I drove back to the Game Lands parking area with it, I saw two bucks cross the road from posted ground into more posted ground. I swear they were laughing at me.
Yesterday, I saw no deer, only a couple of turkeys. Today, I looked out the kitchen window about 7:15 AM and there were 2 deer in the pasture, one turned and ran across the front yard, about 25 feet from the front porch. Great hunting, fun memories but tag soup is still on the menu so far.
Depends on the weather a bit but I'll probably hunt here in Somerset most of the time and then head to DuBois for the last Saturday. That's my birthday, maybe a buck will make a present of himself.
