Here it is Oct 2024 and I am still here but my old doe splitear is gone just like so many of my friends.She left me last August with 2 of her fawns both bucks and they made it all the way thru until now.One now sports a perfect little 6 point rack and the other about a 12 in tall spikes with a little fork on one.Good looking guys and since the rut is now peaking they are chasing the girls..Couple of days ago a nice 8 point showed them who was boss..Its still to hot for me to go hunting and the leaves might comew off late this year..Right now I am consentrating on catching pack rats and mice that think my boat is a motel..They thinkI I the wiring is spagetti or something...I am glad summer is gone in some ways just because I do not handle the heat like I used to..At least the MDC missed a forecast everyone was dreading.. The forecast of double Cicada hatch---we had nothing Zero and my friends say the same..I have very little respect for the MDC but this time I am glad they were wrong..
