The afternoon sit was exciting.



At 2pm I decided to bang the horns together a bit. When I did all hell broke loose, nearly instantly. I thought the biggest buck in the world was coming. He started to work up wind of me, so I was nearly sure a monster was coming. He stopped in the thick stuff and I caught a glimpse of long tines. My heart was coming out of my chest. Then he stopped and made a rub. I could actually see the top of the pine whipping around in the brush. I rattled the horns once more and he started coming with fury....

Gun up in the shooting lane and out pops this guy.

He stood facing that way for a good 30 seconds, not moving a muscle.

He then looked at me and I could see the pine boughs hanging off his rack. I should have gone to look at the tree he ripped up.


He looked the other way, trotted down the trail for about 100 yards and went into the swamp on the other side of the pic. I could hear him breaking brush for a long time. He wasn't shy about making noise. It sounded like.....well a moose.
