When Im not drinking Dos Equis...

When I’m not drinking Dos Equis….

 

I’m shooting deer and digging to my dogs. LOL all joking aside, I had a pretty good day in the field. I started my day off by hitting the woods bow in hand and by 630, I was sitting in my tree taking in some of what nature has to offer. I got to watch the squirrels play and the coons sift through the leafs for food. Behind me a low growl startled me a bit. I could hear it but I couldn’t see anything. After a few moments passed the unmistakable sound of a coon huff let out inside a tree right behind me. A few coons broke out into a fight for a minute or so. It was neat to listen to but I could only imagine what was going on because they were totally hidden inside the trunk of an old tree. After the coons wrapped things up a couple yearling deer came walking through within shooting distance. One was a button buck and slightly larger then the female. The two were pretty playful. The doe stood on her hind legs for a bit hopping around swatting the button buck. It was pretty neat to see. I could careless about horns, what I was really after was a good eating doe. The two of them would have been some damn nice eating but I was looking for a little better compromise between quality and quantity. A few moments later my hopes were answered. Three does walked in so I made my choice and let an arrow fly. The shot was a little too far towards her shoulder but I still clipped lungs and she dropped 50 yards or so away. Dinner! My wife accused me of being a bit redneckish when I walked in the house and pulled the heart out the pocket of my car hart bibs. Lol

 

Later in the afternoon I got a call from a farmer who told me he was cutting beans and five or six active looking sets were exposed so far. I hopped in my truck with Rocky and Gumby and headed out. The sets sure looked nice but we only got to work one. Rocky entered and started into a bay. I followed him and followed him for what seemed to be ten yards from the initial hole. Finally he settled in. After digging for about 5 feet I found Rocky and his prize. Late season fat hogs were my target but I had to settle with the worlds smallest possum. I guess it’s all about perspective…to rocky it probably wasn’t that small. Rocky I would guess has to be one of the smallest terriers being worked. He is five pounds soaking wet. After breaking open I was a bit disappointed that it is a possum but he did get to it and held it until dug to…LMAO. I think all possums suck so at least this one gave a good challenge from being so hard to reach.

 

Bows, arrows, venison, terriers and terrier work. Hard to beat!

usually my trick is to set small critters next to rocky and they come out lookin like a bear in the pics. This possum was really that dang small.

what bow you shooting bud?

[steadymob 4]

Shitty ole compound bow I bought of a guy for 75 bucks 7 or 8 years ago...lol.. And it struck again this morning. 130 pound doe this morn at 8:05. I am going to get a long bow and start using that for all my hunting though.

[longdogbow 12]

id like to see and here a bit more on you guys who hunt with the bow.keep it coming bud.and i dont mind them compounds.i had ago with one about 8 years ago but they tried to hook me up with a release aid,sights and all the gear at once.but i just coudnt get me head round it.but i wouldnt mind having another stab at it just using finger release and no sights.as i shoot longbow and recurve.so ill never say never on that one.

[steadymob 4]

I had a friend call me the other night and tell me that it was just luck unless i shot another... here you go . I really got to the heart of the matter with this one.
