Wandering Aimlessly
Oct. 3, 2015 – Evening Hunt
by Phil Burkhouse
Last week I told about our opening day of archery season morning hunt. Big Jake and I headed down county and Jake saw two rack bucks but they stayed in saplings about fifty yards away. Isaac and Ralph headed up county and saw a doe and a coon. Plans had been set to hike into a remote spot for the evening hunt that looked extremely promising.
Ralph had located this area which contained a deadly combination of old fields, loaded oaks, and food plots. We had hiked in two weeks earlier and set out two portable blinds. It was a one-hour walk all uphill plus another ten minute walk to the blinds. We decided to depart at 2 p.m.
