First week out scouting

[Red_label-jr]

So as the title describes I quickly drove to one of my blinds today. It's a bit of a trek to get to it as it's through a pretty thick swamp, but at the same time there's a few natural funnels that run through it. Every time I'm out I usually walk through the reed grass and avoid getting my scent on the trails.

Unfortunately due to a critical in jury leading to an emergency surgery, just days before opening day I placed my camera in one spot last week and turned up with no pictures. So I made the quick decision of moving it to another area 50 yards north of where it was, and it turned out to be a much better choice after all.

So instead of going to my blind on Friday I ended up deciding to go to another area a few hours away and hunt pheasants. But it just turned into a very long walk.

So here's a start to what I've got for pictures I have off it from the first week of having it out.
Last year same spot I had a doe and 2 fawns caught on camera at 2 a.m on the closing days of the season.

I was in this area last Friday just for a quick look around and I walked up on some deer after hours on their bed. I caught a quick glimpse of this buck at the last second and thought it was atleast a 6 point. when he and 2 others busted out I thought the woods were coming down with them.













And some Sandhill cranes too.

looks like a good spot for that ten point he might start showing up during legal light now.
I have seen 3 different bucks since Friday just got to get one in front of me!! :roll
